I have done more than dozen of languages and consider Rust the best experience for both "get new shinny things" and "keep old quiet". But the Rust experience IS cargo. No (other) package managers. Rust is cargo centric. With it, you are free to pin to versions and keep things working for very long. BUT also if you are coming cold to any library is to be EXPECTED to be "new". This is a good thing: The community at large move forward in tandem as if it were a coordinated army! But that don't mean I can't work with older code, is that if you see a crate RIGTH NOW you see te forward momentum at large. If you wanna use something older you can pin to a back version. However, this also point to a fair problem: Is not easy to correlate to which version of Rust each crate(version) relate to.
