I don't use the the builtin testing framework, or std, and I often explicitly use a no-heap crate. Check out Embassy and you'll be free to ignore pretty almost everything suggested here, especially when developing and testing. I c

Being a curmudgeon is not good engineering leadership. "Seeing everything" is just old people being wistful, not actually contributing or doing in the now. I deployed (via ftp) my first site before Netscape so I do understand wher
