  • Virtualization in general? Sure, I can. I’ve tried it a bit with bhyve. But it’s definitely a lot heavier since I’m now running a full Linux os and dedicating resources to it to run docker just to run a python or node app.

    Learning the project is in Go though is a sigh of relief. Professionally I’ve moved to Go (from Python) just because it’s so damn easy to build and distribute.

    I just wish there was better support for the other *nix’s. While the language support them just fine, docker on the other hand strangles it. =(






  • Yeeap. My FreeBSD box has such pain with 'em. Because unfortunately *bsd is not in Python’s precompiled wheels. So one is almost building from the source.

    Now every time I pip install something there’s a high likelihood I’m going to end up having to install the rust tool chain and burn so much time on building libraries. I get why the project made the switch, but man does it hurt being downstream of it.


  • Every time I see a project decide to use rust I groan knowing my build/packaging time is about to skyrocket. Case in point, the Python cryptography project.

    And given cryptography’s importance in the Python ecosystem what used to be an easy pip install of a package now almost always going to include is an enormous and horribly slow rust build environment.

    Seeing a rust libraryjust makes me sad now 😭
