> utter mess that is cargo?
Cargo is currently the best first party language package manager on the planet. It learned from all of the other systems that came before it.
Cargo could use a few improvements, like namespaces and hermetic, repeatable builds, but it's one of the nicest infrastructure pieces we have in any language.
No other language in the top 20 has anything like Cargo. The language needs to be designed hand in hand with its package manager, so it'd be hard to bolt a Cargo onto other established languages.
- ivan_gammel 1y agoOut of curiosity, why do you think it’s the best? I can imagine where it can be better than e.g. Maven, but Rust-centric and Java-centric developer workflows are so different that those things probably don’t matter much.
