I've never used Rust, but this definitely reminds me of my days running Slackware on my computers.

Oh, hey, I'd like to run this new package. Great. I'll need this dependency...and that one...and the one over there....

I know it now has dependency management, but I just couldn't do it any more. I was tired of worrying about what was going to break. I started with Slackware in the 3.x days, too.

I switched my server to Debian, and I feel like I never have to worry about it any more. Laptop and desktop are both Kubuntu, but they're going to go to Debian at some point in the near future.
