    built from the ground up with rust. Why the fuck is that the first and usually only (non-)feature to mention in any project written in rust? Who the fuck cares?

    I fucking hate the rust cult.

      Because most things built with Rust are faster than their equivalent, especially electron-based apps.

      So as a user, regardless of the cult following, i’m happy that this tech exists and is being adopted so fast.

        And safer, since Electron is just Chromium, which is mainly written in C++.

      I care because I know the values of those programmers in a narrow scope and won’t be as annoyed when I inevitably have to go debug the rust code instead of C.

      However, that values statement was challenged by automatic binary downloads without user confirmation.

      Luckily the fix is already in progress, but its concerning it was ever implemented.
