I won’t comment on Rust Evangelism Strike Force too much; it seemed to be unironically used as a term of endearment at some point, but that could’ve been after its use as a pejorative. At this point, I can’t remember, and frankly, the world is probably better off forgetting.

I understand. In the earlier days of Go package management, it was pretty common for folks to compare it to Cargo. In retrospect, this was probably bad, but it did serve to highlight some pretty damning issues with Go at the time. But I feel they addressed the shortcomings significantly with Go modules, and now it has become much more a matter of taste.

I enjoy Go’s idea of trying to make source control the only source of truth, but I don’t think it’s as well-received as the more tried-and-true approach of Cargo and other centralized package repositories. I suppose time will tell.
