> C/C++ are doing fine without package managers. More or less the entire Debian apparatus is an organization devoted to being a C/C++ package manager, and while as an end-user it's adequate for installing applications it's still an enormous pain to use packages as libraries even with apt and friends. And once you get outside of apt, you're in an endless hellscape. People don't seem to understand that the real reason that people love Rust is not because of memory safety (let's be honest, most people are too short-sighted to care about that); it's because of Cargo. |

I strongly doubt that. Especially with tools like pkg-config that let you generate the set of flags for a package. If anything I've seen more horrendous build scripts from people that are trying to be clever and trying to support everything under the sun.
