And you can do all these things smoothly with rust's cargo: use a local relative path, use a git URL, or use a published package name. It's perfect if you want to try and hack around a dependency.

It's not because the tooling is better, which also happens to be true by far, but because they didn't tie themselves down to a domain name scheme. Funny, given that go waited a long time to take a shot.

Rust has a different problem: too many dead packages with desirable names on crates.io. There's a lot of derelict cruft in that shared namespace, especially for packages outside those most commonly used.
