rustup is also a huge waste of data. If I update stable and then open up a project with a 1.76.0 toolchain, it will download 1.76.0 all over again. Then if I switch to a new project with 1.76 it downloads it again. Either discourage the use of toolchains or update rustup to deduplicate and prevent useless extra downloads. That and encouraging caching layers on CI. Our CI reduced a ton of downloads of toolchains and dependencies just by adding caching layers to the CI. Sure, we should do our part. But it would be more reliable if the rustup / toolchains ecosystem was set up in a way where the default is more data efficient. Thanks for everything you do!
infra is always under-appreciated and never noticed/acknowledged until it doesn't work. awesome work, and great talk!
