hm ok so serious q
Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.
but then:
This document describes building Rust from source. This is not recommended if you don't know what you're doing.
this clearly does not empower everyone to build rust. so is rust not reliable and efficient software?
"if you don't know what you're doing" is doing a fair bit of work there.
I'd like to see a tutorial that takes someone from a novice who knows what a compiler is, through the steps of building rust from source, yes. I personally think that learning the process of building the tools you use to make your tools is valuable...
...because that's basically how you teach blacksmithing, and I've first-hand experience with the specific value that you get from this approach.
