True in principle. But once you divorce yourself from Cargo, almost all resources and advice when it comes to building Rust programs go out the window. I love the language, and I love the community, but the attitude of "rustup nightly and Cargo, or bust" is bit terrifying.
As a noob, I had to wade through endless "but don't do that, just get the latest from Cargo!!!!" when I asked for advice on how to use my system-provided Rust packages for my project.

That's inherent with software. > Moreover, in the Python world a distinction is made between "software that runs your system" and "software that you use for development"; maybe Rust people think similarly. What?
