A language where the standard is "we download the packages we need" (somewhat like npm on node) feels like it has a lot less mental overhead to it because the default is "users expect to get dependencies easily", and you don't have to spend so much time trying to target older but "default" installations of things.

Which with a language like Rust capable of producing static binaries, feels like a better place to be in anyway since it's a lot easier to replace 1 executable then a whole net of shared dependencies.
