   *sigh*
   It looks like the maintainer of the base64 #Rust crate broke all code using the rust-bitcoin #Bitcoin Core RPC client to run on #Debian.

   Trivial crates like base64 have a single job: don't change.

     @stevenroose 👏 :classiclol: I saw this coming yesterday when I noticed bitwarden_rs had multiple versions of base64 in its dependency tree
     
     how hard is it to make a base64 library people?

     @feld
     The base64 crate "requires Rust v1.31 or higher". WTF. How can one not have base64 code that works on all #Rust versions...

     @stevenroose because the language is trash and everyone defending it is a liar

     @caseyp @lanodan @stevenroose don't try to convince me Rust is lightweight. It's almost 700MB
