What packaging types are there for Rust? Isn't everything just source-based through cargo?

I think they are referring to crates vs binaries vs cargo binaries.
Crates are your libraries, not meant to be standalone, binaries are your .exe, cargo binaries are meant to be compiled by cargo on your machine and run through cargo, ex: cargo sqlx
They might also refer test binaries and example binaries which are two executables that only compile the tesrs and the examples to make sure they work, but apart from that idk
This meme must be old as Java 9 added jmods
And there's also WARs for servelets, uberjars, various means of bundling for exes, native compilation via Graal. Overall quite the ignorant meme.
Also EARs in case WARs are not enterprise enough for you
How did I forget WARs...I literally work with Jakarta quite often including for work lol. Bundling exes is a cheap trick, just a JAR with an exe header, can usually even be run like a jar so not sure I count that but yeah
There's no Java past version 8. Everyone knows that.
-_-...8 needs to die already. Most of my projects heavily depend on modern features, I even have one that straight up requires JPMS
NPM : what am I, chopped liver?
