Ah interesting. Thank you, you’re giving me something to read about that I never considered for crates. I guess I just assumed because of the scrutiny Rust was built with and continues to go through that it would also apply to verifying crates. I have definitely heard about it with NPM so it should have been obvious that it might not be any different for crates. Thanks again!
I wonder how many folks are just refusing to use Rust to spite the Rust Evangelism Strike Team.
Rustaceans 🤝 Vegans
I wish there was a synonym for “evangelism” that began with a “u”.
Urge? Kinda dark and villainous feeling.
Upgrade! “The Rust Upgrade Strike Team! Upgrade Today!” Sounds very propagandistic, almost doublespeak.
Ultimatum? Mildly threatening.
Utopia? It has the self righteous feel.
Uhvangelism, hurhur.
Universalism?
I giggled, thank you.

I wait until cargo is actually secure.
What is insecure about it?
It doesn’t verify downloads are authentic. Its an issue with almost all programming dependency managers besides mature ones like Java’s Maven.
Python has been working with Facebook to fix this in pip for like a decade.
But obviously it shows that rust isn’t so concerned about security.
