I agree. I have written server software my entire career, and the need for performance is a corner case in my experience. The never crash in runtime aspect of rust should get much more attention (I know it can panic, but that really never happens in practice unless you use unwrap or smilar).
I also think the defaults are fine, so I was quite surprised to see 14% modify the settings. That is much higher than I expected.
This community really lacks more personal questions and thoughts, so it not just fits it is desired!
My company actually used a whiteboard instead of a DNS for our internal network. We used it as a temp solution during setup, then 5 years later it was still in use. It worked quite well.
If I give you the impression that you buy a gold bar, but in reality you get a cheap gold plated metal bar, then that is fraud. It doesn't matter if it looks and feel the same.
You don't have to use it....
So, I will finally be able to drop some deps and use the built-in chown. Nice!
Always happy to see more projects being open source.
Yes, but all programmers have a love/hate relationship to their languages and toolchains. When I started off back in the 90:s, my prefereed language was Perl, it was amazing, but it was also a nightmare in some aspects... and unfortunately the larger the project the larger the nightmares. I assume Python is probably pretty much the same, even though I have avoided to work with dynamic languages in very large scale projects due to the support nightmares that comes with them. So I assume the Rust cult, is based on the fact that the rust frustration comes a lot from the strictness of the language, but that becomes less of a problem the more you use it (since your skills improve) and at that point the strictness instead gives the reward of reliability and efficiency.
So, while dynamic languages may frustrate you the more you use it (since the projects grows and it is a nightmare to maintain), rust will instead reward you over time.

It remove the central server, which is often the single point of failure. So even if it doesn't add more security than signal, it adds resilience. And this is not Tor in the way that its not a proxy, its a framework to build secure peer to peer applications.
