It's over. Node.js is rewriting Cargo. Pack it up boys, RIIR has failed
We spent years rewriting their entire frontend toolchain (SWC, Oxc, Rspack) in pure, blazing-fast, memory-safe Rust to save them 2 seconds of build time.
And how do they repay us? They rewrote our sacred cargo publish in TypeScript just because GitHub Actions is a 'Node.js native environment' and they didn't want to wait for rustup to install.
The audacity. The absolute lack of fear of garbage collection.
Here is the proof of our defeat:https://github.com/tu6ge/publish-action/issues/15
