I have heard some statements that Rust is bad because of its non-free components such as Cargo.
- Georgelemental 3y agoYou heard wrong? https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo
- eimrine 3y agoI mean the approval process for packages in Cargo is controlled by vendor.
- zamadatix 3y agoDo you mean the default crates.io registry Cargo uses? Cargo is the package manager, it supports alternative registry definitions and local packages all set in the dependency file. You can run your own private or public registry, or use someone else's, and publish anything you want.
- margorczynski 3y agoBy that reasoning almost every Linux distro is also non-free as it uses a default repository for packages.
- M2Ys4U 3y agoOne can use cargo without using crates.io, though due to network effects it'd be a pain to do
