I'm curious why `npm` is used to install a `rust` binary?
Why should the package's original language matter? When I use apt-get, I have no idea what languages the packages were written in.

> everyone is frantic to make their tools as usable and well-documented as possible Eh, enjoy it while it lasts. Companies are still trying to figure out how to get value by letting a thousand flowers blossom. The walled-garden gates will swing shut soon enough, just like they did after the last open access revolutions (semantic web, Web 2.0, etcetera)
I two am wondering exactly what form slamming the gates shut in our face will take. Closing the first hit is free train And opening the doors to pay me, $#%&

#150God, getting this set up is frustrating. I've spent 45 minutes trying to get this to work, just following their defaults the whole way through. Multiple errors and issues along the way, now I'm on `gws auth login`, and trying to pick the oAuth scopes. I go ahead and trust their defaults and select `recommended`, only to get a warning that this is too many scopes and may error out (then why is this the recommended set…
Similar frustrations. I was only able auth using some Google app I created for an old project years ago that happened to have the right bits. It wild that this process is still so challenging. There's got to be some safe streamlined way that sets up an app identity you own that can only use to access your own account.
