@tastapod does configuring the build process always take at least twice the time and effort of actually writing the code, regardless of platform and language, or is it just me

@jackeric Not just you, it’s the main reason I almost never code in my free time. Coding would be fine, testing would be fun. Setting the whole thing up, especially when it’s an existing project I want to modify? Not without getting paid for it.
@tastapod

@toni @tastapod when I started with Rust, I was delighted that `cargo run` just works... ok, but just tweak build.rs to compile the static dependencies as optimised release but the code under development as debug... oh, embedded work for an ESP32? you want WSL then... oh and you'll need to figure out which dependencies from the Espressif framework you'll need to install...

it's still a whole lot better than rushing into C++ plugins for flight simulators without pausing to learn the fundamentals of how a dynamic library works, though

@jackeric @toni @tastapod

everyone always forgets the "learn" part of the line.
