For me, it only gets the "really well" when it also does binary dependencies vcpkg/conan style.

Having tried both, focusing on source dependencies is the only way to make sure that dependency sources are universally available and buildable, which makes a huge difference in the long run. Just look at NuGet's issues getting SourceLink adopted.

Binary caching รก la Nix can work, but I can't really see that working out without Nix's commitment to environment purity.

Sounds like something is pretty screwed up if you're running cargo clean as part of your regular workflow.
