Miles, |

Thank you for your response. The idea of "getting harder and harder" |
3 |
is hard to accept. Gentoo has always been about having choices. |

Firefox requires rust, but is there a way to disable this ? |
5 |
There must be another way to let the user decide if they need it or not ! |

And yes, the compile time is one of the factors in not wanting it on |
8 |
my system. The second factor is a natural reaction toward feeling that |
9 |
I am forced to have it. |
10 |
Another reason is the growing collection of compilers and development |
11 |
tools and their build time (gcc, bin-utils, llvm, clang ... etc.) and |
12 |
now rust. |
13 |
|
14 |
Firefox itself takes a lot of time to build, and if rust is a must |
15 |
have, then maybe it is time for me to look into something else. I know |
16 |
there's firefox-bin, and if it doesn't need rust, then maybe it is an |
17 |
option. |
