We wouldn't even need to ban them outright. Just ban the usage for important things like windscreenwipers and climate control.

VW thankfully is making the move backwards on their own.

It's not widely used. Some car manufacturers(Toyota if I remember correctly) have started testing it. Some parts are really nice.

There is exactly one hal for i2c, spi and Io pins. As long as both your chip and peripheral driver implement against it, it just works. There are more unified abstractions in the work for things like DMA, but they are not officially stable yet.

Cooperative Multi threading can easily be integrated thanks to Async rust and executors like embassy.

All the crates that are no_std compatible can be included.

It's not perfect, but it's getting there.

Libxml would fit the description. In every browser and system and the maintainer just stepped down.

Average C from source experience: (copied from Kicad)

apt get long list of dependency 
git clone
cd
cmake 
make
sudo make install
rm -r .

Average Rust from source experience:

cargo install

Most of the time you should probably not install from source of possible.

What part about no warranty do they not understand?

Fun fact: the dB doesn't necessarily optimise for punctuality but rather for passengers catching their connection.

That means a punctual train may wait for a train, which is late. Now you've got two delayed trains but the passengers caught their connection.

Man I wonder when Valve manages to ship a 64-Bit Steam Client.

At least in the beginning the scrapers just used curl with a different user agent. Forcing them to use a headless client is already a 100x increase in resources for them. That in itself is already a small victory and so far it is working beautifully.

The first step to get the voting fixed shouldn't be ranked voting. It should be getting rid of winner takes it all. If a party gets 40% of the votes, and there are 10 representatives, it should get 4 of them, not 0.
