minus-squarefartsparkles@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·edit-21 day agoBoth faster_log and async_println were purely malicious packages (not taken over and turned malicious). I know faster_log is typosquatting / luring fast_log users but I’m not sure about about async_println (which was a clone of the malicious faster_log). async_std::print is a thing so I guess trying to lure users who search crates before docs :shrug:
minus-squarenebeker@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·23 hours agoI mean, if you want your prints to be asynchronous you’re looking for trouble to begin with. The previous statement is a joke.
Thanks :)
