• Unfortunately. But it feels and looks like JS, they then realized they needed typing, so they slapped Python typehints on top, but made them essentially optional, but still enforce strict typing. Then they realized that using installed libraries was too convenient, so they shit on the worst dependency system I’ve ever seen.

    • Also attenpting to search for how to do stuff (like writing a server application in rust) inevitably brings up the game Rust (especially if you are trying to google with the word server in your question)

      • At least I can manage Pythons packages without pip (eg. with pacman) and it doesn’t need to compile ~500 packages for a program as complicated as hello world. I can probably compile the kernel faster than most of the small shit rust programs I need on my server.

          You can manage Python packages? When I try to pip install -r requirements.txt, it fails because I’m on Python 3.12 instead of 3.11, except it doesn’t tell me that’s why so I spend the next hour debugging that only to later find out that I also installed the packages globally instead of in a venv and now I need to uninstall them to unfuck my other environments.

          But hey, if it works for you, then that’s great.

            I can manage it very easily. In fact, I don’t even need to do that because pacman keeps track of dependencies itself and installs those dependencies system-wide automatically. Even python packages.

            And practically, just install and use the recommended/required python version.
