> Cargo isn't just TOML, it's TOML, plus a build.rs script, written in Rust, for everything you can't express in the TOML.

Cargo is nice--until you have to coexist with something else that also wants to own the world of the build process.

And that build.rs script causes a LOT of heartburn when your needs get larger or you need repeatable builds.

I don't know what the right answer is, but cargo is exactly the kind of system you describe that you have to start working around when you have more sophisticated needs.
