Honestly using Rust recently has taught me that, the only reason C and C++ dependencies in Rust are remotely tolerable (unlike most other languages) is because Rust has an unusually high degree of talented developers, many former C/C++, who are able and willing to mercilessly bludgeon these libraries and their build systems into a square shape, then fit them in the circle-shaped hole we call "build.rs". I guess my point is, yeah all of this sort of stuff sucks, and to the extent it sucks less elsewhere, it's mostly due to the sheer effort consumed by it.
