Rust seems to attract a certain mindset of mediocre programmers who yell "security" to shove their poorly written slower code down our throats.
Most of them seem to be former web developers who bring all their npm drama to stable C foundations
We're in C23 nowadays, and in Linux distributions there are plenty of npm like drama, one apt/dnf install away with pkg-config, or vcpkg/conan for the more modern folks.
Although I imagine there are a few still stuck in ./configure land.
