This was a really good summary of what Rust feels like in my opinion. I'm still a beginner myself but I recognize what this article is saying very much.

The hacker news comments are as usual very good too:

For me the biggest difference between Rust and C++, for things like scripting, is cargo. Being able to just add an awesome parser, or support for a particular file-format, to my "script" with a single line in cargo.toml is awesome. In this particular way cargo is better than Python even. The amount of time spent on acquiring, setting up, and linking libraries in other languages cannot be understated.

yeah rust along other new languages takes package management (and some other "hard learned lessons") seriously, which gives it an advantage over most older languages (and it's ahead other newer languages in that there is a serious amount of adoption for rust.. a package manager that has no packages to manage is not very useful)
