I wanted to port this to Rust as an excercise, but they still have no random number generator in the core library: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/130703

@movq@www.uninformativ.de LOL 🤣 I don’t think I could ever take Rust seriaujly 🤦‍♂️

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, it’s difficult, you often don’t get what you’d expect. They also make heavy use of 3rd party libraries. IIUC, for random numbers, they refer to this library. I’ve read many times that the Rust stdlib is intentionally minimalistic (to make it easier to maintain and port and all that).

I’m struggling with this, using 3rd party libs for so many things isn’t really my cup of tea. I’ll probably make my own tiny little “standard library”. It’s silly, but I don’t see any other options. 🤷

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Considered building your own language and compiler? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net That isn’t really my strong suit. 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ahh but it kind of is mine 😅 Or at least I’ve done this kind of thing at least 3 or 4 times now 🤣
