       |  _"Unlike the many compilers and ancillary utilities that
       | programmers use to build C code, Rustaceans can use a single
       | tool, called Cargo, to compile Rust code, run tests, auto-
       | generate documentation, upload a package to a repository and
       | more. It also downloads and installs third-party packages
       | automatically."_

       | Fetching required packages in this way is very convenient,
       | something one notices rather soon when writing Rust applications!
       | There are already many dedicated packages also for highly
       | specialized applications, and with cargo it is easy to use them
       | immediately.
       | 
       | Another great attraction of Rust is also mentioned in the
       | article:
       | 
       |  _"It's because the community is so fantastic."_
