Rust's technical choices seem to make releasing GPL software with it cumbersome and unattractive. Also the implied goal of a lot of Rust projects is to replace GPL'ed programs with permissive ones.

Which technical choices are thinking of here? My best guess is the crates ecosystem and the oft discussed ‘dependency hell’ that pervasive package manager usage seems to engender. Is there something else I’m missing contributing to the (maybe purposeful) reluctance to push GPL code?
