My incomparable Gentoo system has the following Python versions
installed:

python-2.7.18_p16-r2
python-3.11.13
python-3.12.11
python-3.13.5
python-3.14.0_beta3
python-3.8.20_p7

WTF!

But this is no fluke. All those versions are necessary as some
other package requires them.

However, now Rust is equally crazy. Here are my Rust installed
versions:

rust-1.82.0
rust-1.83.0
rust-1.84.0
rust-1.85.0
rust-1.85.1
rust-1.88.0

Again, all are necessary somewhere.

But Rust packages are always very slow to build and they will
each pull in a mountain of "crates."

Rust, like Python but even worse, is the junk of junk.

This is the price that we pay so that these developer queers
can maintain their illusion of progress.
