Radicle: peer-to-peer collaboration with Git

GStreamer I find a really bad example, though that is probably best discussed in person and not over any kind of chat. What I will say here is: the concept in general is nice, in practice it fails so much that I never used it productively anywhere. FFMpeg was always better (though, maybe, that says more of my target audience than GStreamer? I don't know. To me, in my requirements, it always felt at least somewhat hacky). Anyway, I do concede, that this is not really something a distribution like Debian can argue, once it accepted a certain piece of software.

Of librsvg I was not aware and I must admit I am surprised. A SVG parser might be messy because of its standard (and extensions), but not being able to compile everywhere was not what I was expecting.

Python I have – very personally – no interest in. So I do not have any knowledge in this space. Sorry.

That said: I can accept the argument of "needs to compile to all the platforms I/$entity" care for. That was not clear to me from your initial post. Because I do also think, that having some software available ob one system and not necessarily on all others is not an issue in all cases. That being said: that Rust is limited by its implementation/LLVM is an issue. I wish there were more resources available to the gccrs developers [0], who aim for a better and long-term hopefully better platform.
