So, serde seems to be downloading and running a binary on the system without informing the user and without any user consent. Does anyone have any background information on why this is, and how this is supposed to be a good idea?
dtolnay seems like a smart guy, so I assume there is a reason for this, but it doesn’t feel ok at all.
I thought he was a genious inventing so many useful tools. Does he maintain other projects he didn’t create?
Not sure, possibly. You still need to be pretty smart maintaining and extending all those tools.
