    This resonates with me. I love all the packages but yes the gigabytes downloaded to build something and the sheer time taken is not fun at all. Syntax is ugly IMO as well. It’s still my go to for strongly and statically typed languages in spite of everything though. Maybe you’re right about the hype train hitting me. :)

    What you call hype I call a strong and growing ecosystem. ;)

    Honestly it’s been fun chatting with you. I think we are sort of opposites. You seem to like hobby languages. I like well used languages. You are tired of hearing about what’s popular. I’m excited about other programmers being excited.

    I am curious what turned you off when you were actually using Rust. Or did you mostly lose interest because other people endorse it?
