I'm around 20 years Linux user and I'm still installing various soft by curl bashing a script from their site.
https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install
Why is it the canon way to install rust by piping curl output to sh???
At least it doesn't start with sudo, lol.
Trusting official installation instructions from the software developer might be a step or two down from trusting your distro's package maintainers, but it's still several steps up from trusting random advice from a forum or chatroom.
And with the possible exception of Ken Thompson or Ben Eater, we've all got to trust somebody.
