Genuine question: What does Cargo do that Go 1.11 modules can't?

Applying the bug fixes in a dependency I'm using when a new version of it is published… [1]

Sarcasm apart, I wasn't talking about features. But cargo is a really well-designed package manager. I've been using Rust full-time for 2 years now and it had never annoyed even once.

[1] the sarcasm was referring to the Minimum Version Selection algorithm used by go's package manager, which is a really bad case of NIH from Go's teams who decided to throw away a thriving community work to do their own stuff, ending up with something different from what everybody else has been for more than 20 years. And unsurprisingly, it's really bad…

You can replace a dependency with a local modified copy of the dependency to do this.

Minimum Version Selection is for security reason. It might has some disadvantages, but personally I like it. It gives programmers more control.
