One of my favorite things about Rust is that it uses the file system as the basis for a fast, reproducible, and composable developer environment.
I can unzip a directory, cd into it and cargo build it and for the most part it just works.
The fact that we have added shared libraries and environmental variables and so many other magic incantations that we need massively complicated second systems is an indictment of our culture of complexity.
I believe Go also embraces that level of simplicity.
And when it comes to deployment, instead of needing a simulation of a whole operating system (containers), I can just remote copy a directory and just have it work.
