I'm still kind of baffled that the rust people saw what js was doing with npm and saying "that's a great idea", let's do that!

Or maybe it's just a lot of previous js devs doing this.

Rust has a HUGE supply chain security problem

"If only Rust had this feature, we would use it for all our greenfield projects!" Said nobody. Rust adoption is stagnating not because it's missing some weird feature pushed by programming language theory fanatics, but because of a lack of focus on solving the practical problems that developers are facing

@sotolf 100% agree with you! this is why all of my crates use minimal dependencies, often zero, sometimes not even std.

@TudbuT Good to see that there are some fighting it still :) Rust is a decent language for many tasks, I'm just not a big fan personally. And I do have some qualms with how so many rust projects does seem to have 100s of dependencies, for me personally it has made me unable to compile a lot of them, since my pc is not new, and not very good :p
