One issue I've run into recently is with dependencies that need to be the same version as a transitive dependency. I wish I could specify a dependency by marking the package I need to use it with, and cargo could figure it out from there.

Yeah, I know crates could just re-export or accept a trait or something, but I don't control every crate out there.

Another issue is that my target directory gets huge. I just deleted mine and it was 17GB for a small project with a handful of dependencies.

Rust rocks in general though.

I agree. Maybe Rust should make crates automatically re-export dependencies if any of that dependency's types are publicly exposed.
