Not a fan of how any of this stuff ended up at all. :\ Seriously regret wasting so much time contributing to the Rust compiler / standard library now. It was so close to ending up as a great language for low-level use but the standard libraries missed the boat completely.

I feel your pain. I was very excited from Rust, but after experiencing it from the position of Alpine package maintainer, I’m very disappointed, mainly because of Cargo. I wish someone took great concepts from Rust and implement it with minimalism and correctness in mind.

What are your issues with Cargo?

Cargo is bloated everything-but-kitchen-sink. It introduces double chick-or-egg problem to Rust – you need cargo and rustc to build cargo and the same to build rustc.They don’t even provide static cargo for bootstrapping.Using git as pkgs index is horrible idea, it’s slow as hell

They made Cargo an inherent part of Rust, but it’s being developed as some hipster JS project.

Moreover, a week ago I’ve packaged the Crystal language, which is also self-hosted and based on LLVM, so now I have some comparison. It was so easy to bootstrap Crystal on musl, even to a different arch! Can’t say that about Rust, not at all, it was like hell.

80%? Where did you get that figure?

I just took the top 200 (not 2000) crates and ran `cargo build` on both nightly and stable. 190 of them compiled on nightly. Of those 190, exactly 188 of them compiled on Rust stable.

I built every single crate in the top 200 by most all time downloads. I skipped none.
