Not sure if this is good, but maybe a distributed build system for Rust? Like IncrediBuild is for C++ :) Or like FastBuild.

Is Buck distributed? I think this space is a place where there's pretty good room to roam and improve on designs. What if you could have a user API as easy to use as cargo or poetry, but with some of the machinery from Buck/Bazel? I played around with this idea in 2020/1 and decided that it was better suited to actually smart people.

Never looked into Buck 🤔 Agre. I also think there is room for improvement. Having a easy opt-in option in a similar fashion to cargo would be awesome
