but do you really need to install gigabytes of visual studio to use it [on windows]? there's no way it's like this for other programming languages; i mean a full gcc installation doesn't even make a single gigabyte
i just don't want all this stuff i never wanted just to use this one language
i just installed it with the x86_64-pc-windows-gnu toolchain using rustup (thanks @SArpnt and @17cupsofcoffee) and that worked :3
but now i have finally fallen to the dark side (full on arch linux user)

it can poll motion tracking data from my peripherals - dozens of sensors on each tracker, headset, and controller - thousands of times each second,
it can use all of that information to transmit an idealized version of myself to 10, 20, sometimes 30 or more other people all over the world, in less than a tenth of a second,
it can render their avatars and project them directly to my retinas at 120 hertz, giving me the illusion of motion, of reality,
it can do all of that with off the shelf consumer-grade hardware.
and yet, on the same machine, microsoft teams takes 10 seconds to draw its ui in slow motion whenever i try opening an office document in its shitty web browser ass approximation of an application what the FUCK microsoft
