I’ve been following along with Rust for quite a while. It’s a pretty neat language which offers the promise of the control (and performance) of C, with unparalleled safety, protecting both against segfaults and against concurrency bugs. I spent the weekend playing with Rust, and the thing that struck me most was not the language itself, but how refreshing the tooling around Rust was. Rust comes with a build and packaging system named Cargo.
