noob here, does this mean rust will come included on Linux, similar to python?

[patatahooligan@lemmy.world]

The other commenter already answers your quest, but I will just point out that python doesn't come included "on Linux". It just happens to be a dependency of so much stuff that some other packages is going to pull it in. A minimal distro which doesn't include programs written in python will probably not have python installed at all.

That's kinda wild tbh, even Node applications don't need to pull in Node.

[lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network]

But then, Python is an interpreted language so you need the interpreter installed.
You do need JavaScript's interpreter for Node applications IIRC

[isveryloud@lemmy.ca]

Most of the time it's bundled in the application, unless it's a server app or a dev toolkit.

[lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network]

Hah.
Tell that to Mint and it's bundled software!

Although, Mint's not alone in this.
In general, if Python came pre-installed on your Linux system, uninstalling it tends to break a whole bunch of pre-installed software.
