I can't blame him. I recently tried to compile a rust app from github. I did not realize that cargo was pulling a GIGABYTE of data on my bandwidth-restricted connection until it was done. Then it wouldn't compile due to version mismatch. So I tried to update the rust version and that started throwing errors. The last thing I am doing is wasting my time troubleshooting such a crappy toolchain. If I have to play inspector gadget just to install the compiler and libraries to compile a small program, you can forget it. Cargo is a monstrosity and it is NOT a good toolchain if you value time and simplicity. I would much rather the maintainer offer binaries for download rather than requiring me to git clone, apt install, realize the deps aren't in the apt repo, hunt down and compile the deps, run make, then troubleshoot forever and a day before I can even do make install. Just give me a binary with everything built in. Kthxbye.
