I've lost count of how many times NPM or PIP broke because of "2000 lines of error dumps". The only occasion is happens with Rust has to do with TLS, and I learned to handle that one quick. Otherwise, "cargo install" is the best package manager out there.

Ah, yes, TLS. This is almost always the fault of Rust libraries that link against OpenSSL. So technically this is a C linking nightmare. :-/

I have configured cargo-deny for nearly all our projects to just ban OpenSSL from ever appearing as a dependency.
