Working on scientific code, Rust is amazing.
We used to either code in C or Python. Now Python is only used for data analysis pre-post computation.
The code is as fast as in C, the compiler is great at helping us prototype without bugs, memory usage is lower.
We dropped C complelty and reducing our usage of Python.
Hurting libgen will slow science, slowing science will reduce the need for new books and book updates and that will reduce their income.
Maybe libgen should sue back for it share of the pie.
