I find it especially weird that it's almost always labeled like something special if it's written in Rust, even though as the end user the only thing I know will be different is the compile time, as it usually takes around 10-20 times longer than if it would be written in c, with 500 dependencies being pulled and recompiled every time. Which means if tests fail, even though the app works fine, and I had that happen twice in Rust, it will take three tries or so until I manage to fully remove the test section from the pkgbuild, resulting in an hour loss for just installing something that could've taken 5 minutes.

Reimplements in C

Compiles in 5 Minutes (you accidentally did it on the RPi Zero W, on a PC it's done in 30 secs)

change code so it no longer segfaults

still is UB, has arbitrary code execution vulnerability

everybody dies

But you died faster, that's not to be underestimated
