Will you also work on providing a better Windows package? I don't understand why you don't just bundle all the dependencies, given that they all seem to be open source and redistributable.

Call me spoiled but I expect a one-click installer in this day and age. I still haven't tried to actually use Rust because of that and I am sure I am not the only one.



You're spoiled :P

But, windows is (unfortunately) a bit of a second class platform at the moment (although there have been some very big strides in the last week or so). So part of the reason for poor windows packaging is Rust isn't ready on windows yet (even more so that its normal pre-alpha-ness on Linux and Mac).


Why bother working on a proper distribution of a package that isn't anywhere near ready?

It will come in its due time.
