Cargo has never frustrated me like npm or pip has. Does Cargo ever get frustrating? Does anyone ever find themselves in dependency hell?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/rust

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Cargo

    The Rust package manager

  • Be careful about doing this globally on in a way that shares the target dir, you'll end up hitting a cargo bug that causes it to combine unexpected code in some cases, which can cause unsound behavior. https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/12516

  • crates.io

    The Rust package registry

  • Vendoring your packages was very tedious to even remotely get to work with Cargo. I spent a very long time getting Cargo to work together with cargo-local-registry. We vendor crates from crates.io and a custom internal registry.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • bad-workspace

  • edit: I prepared a proof of concept for this to explain it to a friend a couple months back, if you want to poke around at it.

  • projclean

    Project dependencies & build artifacts cleanup tool.

  • projclean can help you clean up project build & cache, such as node_modules and cache dirs.

  • compiler-team

    A home for compiler team planning documents, meeting minutes, and other such things.

  • See https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/688

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
