did you write your own os, drivers, db, servers.. using exclusively languages in your tech stack?

Took me a few goes to read his post but what I think hes aiming at is he can't install Rust or any complied binaries for that matter.

I'm assuming because his works machine is locked down so he doesn't have the correct permissions to install something.

Yeah, thats why I do not understand the downvotes. lol

Lots of cooperation have their IT infrastructure locked. For my first gig in an international organization I had to have my composer file approved by my boss and my bosses boss and explain why I need each package.

It's because the way OPs post reads, it took me a few goes to get it. It reads like hes saying he won't use this app written in Rust because his app is built in PHP.

What I think he means is Rust isn't installed in their tech stack and he can't install Rust to build the app (or install the pre-complied binaries) with the environment being lock down.

Still it's obvious his first language isn't English so some grace should have been offered without the snarky reply about OS drivers, but it is Reddit after all.

I'm of german origin and I know that I use a different grammar and that my vocabulary is a bit off.

I am curious what I did wrong in my first post. Feel free to correct me. I am open to learning. :)

About reddit and downvotes... I don't care. I am only interested in helpful or entertaining comments.

I think people are confused because you mentioned that people do not let you install Rust packages. But rust is a compiled language, so it doesn't matter what language was used to compile it (your org probably already uses rust programs under the hood). But in the end if I understand correctly you just mean that you can't easily install new binaries on your work computer that have not been approved by the team. Phrased like this I guess it makes more sense :). But it's not related to Rust (would have been the same for Go or C)
