    I’m working with some Rust right now that is 100% a big mess…

    It’s consistently either the Rust or the Docker components that fail to build. In fairness, it’s a VERY big and complex application.

      We had to use Nix to build Rust services and make containers of them. It works pretty well, except with Nix 2.29 and 2.30 where it is broken for some reason

      docker doesn’t really fail to build unless something upstream fails, like lib builds that don’t have the proper dependencies installed. I’d still count those failures as rust fails 😂

      that said, I worked with a kid that was trolling rust package managers hard by squatting on common library names because they refused to resolve the issues of squatting. dick move but clearly educated me on the toxicity of the rust community and why I should avoid it.
