It's a shame they didn't roll a proper package manager with the language toolkit. Having your executable depend on having some lib installed is quite a pain. But how do you share libraries properly then? Especially without a proper way of bundling deps in your code...

Using cargo always makes me feel at ease when writing Rust. Haven't dabbled with linkers though.

And rust binaries all link the rust libs statically(you can change linking), maybe because it is easier to distribute static binaries that work everywhere than to distribute a bunch of libraries without official channel(your os distributions).
