if only there was a lint in the compiler that could have told them that this is wrong, something about "invalid reference casting" maybe? surely that would have been very helpful to them and they wouldn't have just suppressed it

117 countries... or 540 empire state buildings (according to the article). which makes the number seem a lot smaller. It sure uses a lot of energy and it would be better if it didn't, but I feel like "117 countries" is a bit misleading and makes people think it uses more energy than it does

with more up to date distros you at least get exciting bugs that haven't been fixed and therefore don't feel like a total waste of your time

though getting software that works well has, in my personal experience, never been the goal of debian stable, since often you just get software with bugs that have already been fixed, which I've encountered several times and is always very frustrating

i agree that it's an unreasonable expectation to have for Rust, but it is one that has very much been set by C.
i think debian should just aggressively backport rustc versions to ensure that people get actually usable software

this is actually a thing that happens, where people install rustc from debian, because that's how they also installed their C compiler, and then get sad that most new projects don't build.
there's a reason some crates have "debian stable" as their MSRV, but most understandably don't
