Rust's Cargo is incredibly well thought-out and will make you despise everything else.
On the other hand, I’ve been working with react-Native and typescript recently, and it’s a constant mess. Every invocation of yarn leaves at least a couple of warning messages about things that are out of my control. Installing packages is slow and at least every few days I have to wipe out node_modules and nuke any iOS build folders in order to get it working again. That said, RN is promising technology and hopefully my frustrations are due to more inexperience than the tools or language and ecosystem. I just wish all of the JavaScript stuff were faster. I’m on a gigabit connection and fast hardware but still it seems sometimes yarn has to download or unpack 6500 files or something
Meanwhile, the former CTO of NPM released a new (alpha) package management system last week at JSConfEU (the conference where NodeJS was first announced); see https://github.com/entropic-dev/entropic/blob/master/docs/RE...
