I work mostly in terminal and won't use clunky IDE programs. I need to be able to
0. Export/upload my source
1. Import/download my remote source
2. Compile my source for different targets
3. Cleanup my source and my compiled source
5. Do all the above for different versions/locations of my source
6. Do all the above for source not my own
7. Do all the above with a simple command and or a simple key->value in a config file
Then I need to do all the above with
8. using a terminal on my personal computer
9. on a remote server using ssh'ed terminal
10. in a script automation file like a docker file or maybe a vim script that setups my dev environment
11. Have 0 - 10 be so easy to do, basically a simple command or two, that I don't have to spend days figuring out tooling FOR EACH TASK and googling mystical error messages for solutions on obscure forums posted 2009.
I stayed with Rust because it has good tooling. Because it's the one thing that hasn't driven me insane at one point or another. I wanted to program in Haskell and c, but I am so sick of the terrible tooling and the terrible conventions of the communities (something Go at least gets right) that I instead program in Rust, a language I enjoy less for it's merit as a language.
