FWIW Nuget to .NET is what Cargo crates are to Rust instead of what Maven and Gradle are to Java. The package manager is just a part of the SDK.

Even the CLI workflow is identical: dotnet add package / cargo add (.NET had it earlier too, it's nice that Cargo now also has it).

Wait, newer versions of thr JDK Java SDK now bundle maven and gradle? Why does everyone use mvnw/gradlew for?

This was referring to package manager being just a part of .NET's SDK. Gradle and Maven continue to ship separately.

Right, I forgot NuGet got adopted by Microsoft. But it started and gained prominence independently.
