I don't think your anecdotal experience is enough to redeem the disarray that is C dependency management. It's nice to pretend though.

If you didn't get my point in previous comment, let me put it more frankly - it is your skill issue if you aren't fixing your crates to a specific version but depend on them remaining constant. This is not Cargo's fault.

Yeah, because they basically guarantee nothing nor allow working around any of the potential issues I've already described.
But you do get to wait for a thousandth time for it to check the size of some types. All those checks are a literal proof how horrible the ecosystem is.

There's actually four editions and they're all backwards-compatible.

Should've stopped at the word "reason".
