I don't know much about Rust, but they seme to be following the npm philosophy of "just throw hundreds of spidering nested dependencies at the problem."
Trying to compile even a small rust project on a raspberry pi-like device is not a fun time.
By virtue of that, and the very "Chesterton's Fence bulldozer" attitude of the Rust boosters, I'm not a huge fan of it.
