I don't think cargo is the problem. it's idiomatic and it's like "build.sh"
Cargo fetches dependencies, runs a variety of build tasks, can build a typical Rust project with little or no build scripting, and is configured with a straightforward TOML file. It's not at all like a hand-written shell script. It's also much more pleasant to use than any other build system I've seen, including shell scripts.
yea, as I said, it's idiomatic. it replaces the need for a build.sh.
Is that not true of all build systems?
