honestly what pisses me off the most is how obsessed these nu-coders are with weirdo fucko package abstraction layers, and i say that as someone who only recently learned programming... Rust isn't JUST a programming language, you also have to subscribe to some stupid system where there's like cargo box crates trucked around by sock-wearers to manage your dependent package assembly whatever-the-fucks and it's like holy crap, shut up, just throw a fucking .dll at me if i want to use your tranny code.
the other day i was interested in grabbing a networking module for lua and i shit you not they had to put it in this proprietary .rock archive type so you had to download their tranny program to unpack it instead of just putting a .dll and some .lua files in a .zip like normal people. the best part is i hang around an open-source project or two and all i hear about from linux users is how they can't make anything work because of their 50000 conflicting package managers all forcing bogus system-wide versions of software and libraries. on Windows all my shit just ships with the correct .dll and it JUST WORKS.
JUST WORKING is worth 10mb of "wasted" space per program giving me potentially duplicate libraries. it's 2024. you can afford 10mb.
And the worst part is, these fucko package abstraction layers are the perfect breeding ground for supply chain attacks. It only takes ONE packager to push a malicious update to a dependency and watch the malware spread like wildfire. Hell node-ipc did this before, by pushing an update that (I kid you not) if it detected you had an Russian or Belarussian IP address it would wipe the fucking computer and plaster ukrainian flags all over your computer/server's filesystem.
So if you used node-ipc or a package that depended on it(which you wouldnt know because everything has fucking nested dependencies), you got fucked.
