It's rare to see ANSI escape codes for URLs in the wild, but cargo has it! This example links to https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/profiles.html#default-profiles, describing the different profiles. Considering releases vs debug is a source of confusion for new users expecting better performance, this seems wise.

Are there any package managers that treat changelogs as a first class concept? I end up looking for a CHANGELOG.md or a CHANGES.txt in the source code repository every time. The lack of standard prevents package hosting services being able to show changes.

It's so strange that we talk about languages being slow, and have done for years. Computer performance has increased so much in this time. https://hbfs.wordpress.com/2009/11/10/is-python-slow/ (shared on HN in 2009) discusses Python being slow. My underpowered Thinkpad has 20x the single-threaded performance! https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/73vs3766/AMD-Athlon-64-4000+-vs-AMD-Ryzen-5-PRO-4650U Maybe *relative* performance of languages matters more?
