You might be mixing up who you are replying to. I never claimed that C and C++ package management are better than what Rust offers overall. In some regards, Cargo is much better than what is offered in C and C++. I wouldn't ascribe that to a mess, more the difficulty of maintaining backwards compatibility and handling cruft. However, I know of people that have had significant trouble handling Rust. For instance, the inclusion of Rust in bcachefs and handling it in Debian that whole debacle. https://lwn.net/Articles/1035890/ https://lwn.net/Articles/1035890/ They did not have an easy time including Rust software as I read it. Maybe just initial woes, but I have also read other descriptions of distribution maintainers having trouble with integrating Rust software. Dynamic binding complaints? I have not looked into it.
