@movq LOL š¤£ I don't think I could ever take Rust seriaujly š¤¦āāļø
@prologic Yeah, itās difficult, you often donāt get what youād expect. They also make *heavy* use of 3rd party libraries. IIUC, for random numbers, they refer to this library. Iāve read many times that the Rust stdlib is intentionally minimalistic (to make it easier to maintain and port and all that).
Iām struggling with this, using 3rd party libs for so many things isnāt really my cup of tea. Iāll probably make my own tiny little āstandard libraryā. Itās silly, but I donāt see any other options. š¤·

@movq Considered building your own language and compiler? š¤
@prologic That isnāt really my strong suit. š
@prologic That isnāt really my strong suit. š
@movq Ahh but it kind of is mine š
Or at least I've done this kind of thing at least 3 or 4 times now š¤£
