The one I have in mind is: I am peacefully using borgbackup, a python program, to back up our servers. Borg depends on pkgconfig (python). Pkgconfig uses poetry (python) as its build system. But poetry has a dependency on jsonschema (python), and one day, the jsonschema package adds a dependency on rpds (rust). Now I need to rebuild rust packages every time I update my system in order to use my python backup program. This requires a rust compiler, ABI unstable, so not only do I have to update the packages that have changed but pretty much every rust package on the system during every upgrade. Poetry is a popular build system so this impacted many casual users of python programs. It was a major PITA on Gentoo in particular because python runs on more architectures than rust. Lots of end user packages "broke" when the rust dependency was introduced because on certain arches those dependencies "disappeared." Anyway, poetry eventually replaced jsonschema with fastjsonschema to avoid cursing its own users: https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry-core/pull/642 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
