Is cargo really a reason to love rust? I'm not a full-on rustacean but in my limited experience cargo certainly had its flaws and warts like any other build system.

I find it a little puzzling when a language ships the one build system to rule them all. I get that it saves some decision stress but it also is a monoculture. Gradle vs Maven in Java at least puts competitive pressure on each; c/c++ obviously have many options; even Haskell had/has stack vs cabal.
