       Has anyone explored Holochain? How does it differ from other decentralized or serverless tech?

       @changbai the first dapp(happ) I wrote was for holochain, it has been many years ago now tho. It might have changed.The toolchain was bonkers, back then it was like 10 different layers of different flavors of javascript and typescript.I think they're switched over to Rust now, which is even more of a clusterfuck.

       @neauoire @changbai Your core complaint about rust is that it's slow to compile, isn't it? Rust's slow compiler was a reasonable tradeoff in favor of executable efficiency and having a more expressive language.Rust lets me code like haskell in a way that compiles down to optimal assembly.  The security guarantees of rust are also crucial for this sort of programming.

       @faun @changbai It being slow and CPU intensive is less of a problem for us right now(when we do have access to shore power)  than the bandwidth vampirism. That is a my main issue wit rust at the moment, the last app I built had something like 1.2k deps to download? But that's all behind me now, I don't think I'm ever going to pull rust repos again.

       @neauoire @faun @changbai Out of curiosity, does Rust have a way to make a local mirror/repo for dependencies?

       @urusan @faun @changbai it does, it's the same as npm. You have a folder of deps you can copy from one project to the next.
