> I've found Bazel and rules_rust provide a good alternative to Cargo, since Bazel can twist your build into any DAG you want, but most Rust users are unlikely to be excited about injecting 50MB of Java build system into the middle of their workflow. If anyone is interested in another alternative to Cargo that doesn't involve Java, there is build2[1] and it's libbuild2-rust[2] module. It's a general-purpose build system so you can have mixed-language projects, etc. [1] https://build2.org https://build2.org [2] https://github.com/build2/libbuild2-rust https://github.com/build2/libbuild2-rust
