However, as I mentioned before, you are completely unable to admit it.
Our algorithmic infrastructure creates a scalable graph over source code at scale. Our AI processing infrastructure then enables us to apply AI agents, guided by algorithms, to make code modifications at scale. The core of this infrastructure is already operating at scale
He put some scale in his scale.
AI agents, guided by algorithms
Computers are guided by algorithms, amazing.
Even if you use AI, bullshit is still bullshit. That doesn't change.
Most of them are C++ developers who refuse to face the fact that they've spent years and years trying to master a language that was poorly defined to begin with
How is that worse than you, unwilling to admit that Rust is undefined completely?
One popular thing that works on Windows and not on Linux is Apple Mobile Device Service. This is the component of iTunes that lets a user sync MP3 albums, such as those bought on itch.io or Bandcamp, onto the Music app of an iPhone over a USB cable. As a driver, it is outside the scope of Wine.
Until the maintainer receives an issue report requesting a package for a particular distribution. For every one report, there are probably dozens of cases where another prospective user considered using a particular piece of software but did not because there was no package.
I read Package Forge's inclusion criteria. In order to get distributed in PkgCache, the application first needs to "be a well known package" and listed on a website called Repology. And Repology's inclusion criteria appear to be meant for distributions' repositories, not individual project maintainers' repositories.

A CEO was looking for a friend?
You don't break code that works.
Breaking code that works is job security. "don't break code that works" is something that most of the programming world has given up on, unfortunately (along with KISS).
The problem is that without allowing some "unsafe" operations in Rust or any other language it is impossible to do any I/O
I don't think that's true, unless you insist on immutability. In particular, it IS possible to do safe IO, most languages can handle it. For Rust, it's just a matter of defining the proper rules that make IO safe, and then enforcing them.
