For comparison all rust projects uses cargo.
The ergonomic value of that is something you simply can not overstate.
- pjmlp 7y agoFor many users of AOT compiled languages, the ergonomic factor is being able to enjoy fast builds, without getting a compiler rig. Turbo Pascal 7, which was already relatively complex, was already compiling several thousand lines per minute on a single core 4Mhz computer bounded to 640KB. More modern examples with complexer type systems, are languages like Delphi, FreePascal, Ada/SPARK, D, F# via .NET AOT, OCaml. So yeah cargo is nice, but not if I have to build everything from scratch, Rust isn't a scripting language.

FWIW, Rust builds faster than node applications as my laptop can only handle so many iops. And Rust compiles are in line with Ocaml (probably faster by now due to the optimization work over the past year)
