The own thread you linked is clear as day: cargo install is good and should continue to be used as way to install binaries _by building them_

Your objection then or thinking invoking cargo install at all is abuse is highly questionable. In fact, I would wager that vast, vast majority of the Rust community vehemently disagrees with you.

In the own thread you linked there is community support for binary installs with cargo bininstall

bininstall is a third party project.

There’s nothing wrong with building an app store in rust; I’m just saying that it shouldn’t be part of cargo.

> brew install cargo-binstall

…and it is not. It’s a great project, and if you want to use it, you can.

Using rust does not opt you into using it, just like it doesn’t opt you into using brew.
