Found this on Mastodon https://fosstodon.org/@dpom/112681955888465502 , and it is a very nice overview of the containers and their layout.

But per mile measurement for flying implies that every mile of a flight is equally dangerous, but the truth I'd that it is most dangerous to start or land, which is a per trip occurrence. The take off and landing is equally dangerous whether you travel a long or short distance in between.

And the question is am I going to die on this trip? And there the real statistics are pretty clear, cars are safer.

Well, what I want to know is "Am I going to die today?". The distance traveled is irrelevant to answer that question. The only reason to add that to the equation is to make air travel look safer.

Per trip is more in line with how people think about danger. Like, am I going to die on this trip?

I think you underestimate the number of trips per car per day. Most people will take more trips by car per month than they will fly for their lifetime. In Sweden , a country of 10 million, we have about 150 people killed per year from car accidents, yet most adults travel by car daily. That is millions of trips per day, and only half a death.

You don't have to understand everything, it is ok. And joining a language community for a language you hate just to rant about it, shows that you should try to focus on letting things go. It feels a bit obsessive.

If you actually like to have a conversation about the language, I suggest you be a bit more specific and we will try to answer to the best of our ability.

Have a nice day, and don't forget to breathe.

What I feel looks interesting with "on rails" is that you get things like database management built in, like setup, upgrades aso. Of course, this also means that it might be difficult to jump off the rails if you need that. And even if I feel like I'm not the target audience, since I prefer to pick and choose smaller libraries, I'm watching this with interest since Ruby on Rails seems to be quite popular.

Now when I look in to it, it seems that the things I would like to adjust is mostly formatting of imports, and most of these options seems to still be unstable.

I agree. I have written server software my entire career, and the need for performance is a corner case in my experience. The never crash in runtime aspect of rust should get much more attention (I know it can panic, but that really never happens in practice unless you use unwrap or smilar).

I also think the defaults are fine, so I was quite surprised to see 14% modify the settings. That is much higher than I expected.
