🎯 Key Concepts Explained
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- The Problem: Rust is written in Rust → can't compile Rust without rustc → circular dependency
|
|||
|
|
- The Solution: Download pre-compiled rustc, use it to compile everything else
|
|||
|
|
- The Architecture: Only rustc is pre-compiled (100MB); everything else from source
|
|||
|
|
- The Result: Fast installation (15-30 min), small repo (~500MB), zero maintenance
