I can't figure out what this constraint means.
My Windows laptop doesn't seem to have provided a C compiler, so, maybe that's a problem for Windows?
Huh, well I guess I can buy or download a third party compiler, that's easy enough, but then, I can do that for Rust too, so, doesn't seem like a difference.
Meanwhile on this Fedora machine, the Rust compiler came with the OS. So, is this not an operating system? Maybe the stuff it comes with isn't "shipped with" it somehow? And so there's no C compiler "shipped with" this operating system either, although GCC was installed too ? I just don't know what to make of such a criticism.
