programming languages

Here's an irony of using Gentoo:

On other distributions (Arch), you can get started on random programming languages with a simple install.
On Gentoo, it's the same... expect you "often have to" compile. CRINGE.

So I use *-bin packages for programming languages where i can, to avoid compiling.

Still, to me, the disadvantages of needing to compile are outweighed by the advantages of needing to compile. For example, if I want to learn some build system or praxis, I can grep through ebuilds on my machine instead of letting ChatGPT hallucinate.

Whatever

maybe move it to a different file?
