The thing I don't get about Rust package management is that getting CLI tools from cargo means compiling everything from scratch every time.
Why can't there be binaries distributed, once compiled, cache it with something like https://cachix.org https://cachix.org
Makes consuming things written in Rust a real pain when in Go, a `go get` takes few seconds at most for any tool.
I know it takes infrastructure cost to setup binary sharing and Rust foundation wants to invest into other things but still, hope it comes one day. So many CPU cycles wasted doing the exact same build every time.
