It's kind of the-chicken-and-the-egg scenario. I wanted a hospitable development environment to build a hospitable development environment. Also, prebuilt binaries work just fine. I made this in around eleven hours, so it should be fairly easy to rewrite in other languages if that is what the community wants. This project is already getting a lot more attention than I was expecting, and it is definitely still in alpha. However, you can use whatever tools you want to use.

A good goal for these sorts of projects is bootstrapping - can you build seastar with seastar?

    Since Seastar is written in Rust, and I don't have Rust support yet...no. However, it should be fairly simple to add. Despite what people want me to do, I am not going to fully reimplement Cargo -- it took the Rust devs years, and I'm just one person. However, I can call Cargo with the correct flags and config files to interface with my existing code, and I am planning on doing that soon.

      Arguably a package manager shouldn't be so complex that it takes many developers years to implement.
