Everything is better in Rust. Faster, safer... And also the developer experience is amazing with cargo.
The problem here is not Rust, it's the humans, it seems.
The dependencies are set manually, of course, and the dev was enforcing something too strict, it seems, and that is causing headaches.
But, as the debian dude has learned... Rust programs will 99.999 % work if they can be compiled.
I thought conventionalcommits.org was very well known.
I made my company use it and now it's so much easier to navigate git history. We also get automatic, humanly readable changelogs for free.
