The real takeaway here though, is that although it’s still not
  perfect, other languages are no longer doing appreciably
  better.

Not sure how accurate is this.

At least not true in the context of OCaml/OPAM.

  As always, I’m sure none of this applies to Rust and Cargo is
  basically perfect, but that doesn’t matter, because nobody
  reading this is actually using Rust.

So it seems that those using rust don't read HN:

Bottom line: Bash everyone else arbitrarily and claim oneself to be the best!
