What languages? I'm asking this earnestly, because there are dozens of languages I can name but I have not used. Every language I've used (except maybe Julia) asks you also to install and use something extra, like "meson" or "ninja" or "maven" or "cmake", for its build phase.

You want languages that can be compiled similarly to "cargo build"? Well, Go is one of them. Many C projects are just one "make" command away. OCaml has "dune build". Odin has "odin build", too. There are a lot of other languages I am missing here though.

    Oh yeah, right about Go. Odin and OCaml are languages I don't use but have heard their names.

    I'm not saying Rust has exclusivity here, I'm only explaining why I like to know a project was written in Rust.
