Huh this is new.

@charlotte
Sorry, I don't understand this at all. Installing it to do what exactly? Does anyone "Install C++" or Java, or Python? No you might install an IDE to make programs in one of the Languages though. But that is much different.

@Davida install the development tools for rust

@Davida @charlotte

Install C++ (Windows) - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170

Install C++ (Debian) - https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/libstdc++6

Install Java - https://www.java.com/download/ie_manual.jsp

Install Python - https://www.python.org/downloads/

@Davida @charlotte yes?

they do?

you install python, the jdk, whichever version of c++ compiler is right for your system?

this is how things work

@Davida @charlotte especially if your preferred environment is vscode, emacs, vim or any other program that doesn't make your computer into a room heater and take 6 years to open (looking at you visual studio and android studio)

@Davida @charlotte You’d install a C++ compiler & std lib, Java runtime, Python interpreter & std lib.

The same way you install the rust compiler, package manager and std lib.

@catgirlQueer @Davida @charlotte if you say Android Studio, you might as well say any JetBrains IDE, they all suck

Idk, for me, Rust is mostly associated with people who have anime girls on their profile pictures
