NuGet for C# has always been fantastic, and I like Cargo, though sometimes waiting for freaking ever for things to build does kill me on the inside a little bit. I do wish Go had a better package manager trajectory, I can only hope they continue to work on it, there were a few years I refused to work on any Go projects because setup was a nightmare.

The main NuGet was problematic for a long time e.g. not providing any control over transitive dependencies (like pip at the time). You had to use https://fsprojects.github.io/Paket/ if you wanted safe and consistent resolution. NuGet since got their act together and it’s not as flawed now.
