I haven't been following the development of this package manager, but previous attempts at making a package manager for Rust have failed. Is this package manager supported officially now? I really hope it will stick around.

Yes, the developers are actually domain experts being paid by Mozilla. The release of this website also coincided with the move of the source repository into the rust-lang organisation: https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo .

Yes, it will be supported. The Bundler guys were specifically contracted by Mozilla to sort out the mess. They are actually using Rust in production at the moment, so the have a big stake in its future.

The quiet nature of the development process of Cargo was actually a response to the previous package management failures. The idea was not to publicise heavily before it was ready for dog fooding. This seems to have paid off.
