1. No it doesn't, it runs machine code. 2. Yet again we have the need to announce Rust to the world, when the usage of it is inconsequential in this context

Do you go on every project that announces itself to be written in C/C++/Zig/Fil-C/Java/etc. and make those same complaints? That must be tiring.

> Fun fact #1: you rent your cap and gown in the US. You have to return them. And they’re expensive, too! I paid $94 just for the privilege of renting mine, which is insane because they probably cost way less than that to manufacture.

Ah, yes, of course this is how it works in the US.

I am pretty sure I purchased my cap and gown instead of renting. But my college was a bit smaller.

Yeah, there was no option to rent at my school. I purchased those things, not that I'll ever use them again.

Can't you sell it used to the next graduating class?

If there’s anything I really want written in Rust, it’s a Chrome extension to filter out all the HN posts about Rust.

Or to automatically write command bitching about it.

That would likely entail an LLM today. Which is the single topic that is more highly represented on the HN homepage than Rust.

Yes, you have to pay a decent wage to the people helping you fit, cleaning, and storing the goods. Manufacture is done in a low cost country with cheap labour, so buying clothing seems cheap.
