Why I like rust as a user; platform unification

Let me preface this with the fact that i dont write either language nor do i really care why a person would use one over the other. What i do care about is my experience as user and the attitude of the devs which impacts that experience.

The C crowd seems to overlap significantly with the wintel duoploy crowd and seem to think that support for non x86 devices isnt really important and are very likely to tell you to just go get a wintel machine. I am not saying C and its devs cant support other ISAs but many of them really dont want to and in many cases there is a massive disparity between the effort needed to getting something working on one system verses the other. (Further proved by the recent AUR crackdown)

In contrast, Rust devs and their projects just work exactly the same way with the same amount of minimal effort on any machine be it my very slow pinephone, modest ARM tablet or fast 13980hx laptop. I cant think of a single time a rust project discriminated against my hardware either in building or in use.

Rust projects are a joy to use because they just work; even the obscure ones that I cant rightly expect to.

I enjoy only having one OS/platform for all my devices and Rust/cargo helps make that more achievable.
