That's just rust culture there is no changing it at this point. How many tools are new users exposed to in the first hour of the language? 'rustup -> rustc -> cargo -> random nonstandard crates, toml, git' (and then the optional rustfmt, language server, ide, clippy)

This kind of spam trains new users from the get to stop thinking about their tools. Is it necessary? Of course not, the language itself can be written with chalk and stone. The lowest tech solution naturally leads to the most comprehensible code that solves the problem, mo' tech mo' problems. We shouldn't train beginners to work on the ISS before they know how to hold a mop.

Go has this problem too, just to a slight lesser degree. The tools existing are debatably a problem, but them being pushed on beginners is certainly one. And just maybe the point of programming isn't to contribute to billion line corporate codebases.
