Are you talking about requirements.txt? Requirements.txt falls short of cargo or really any other mainstream language's dependency doc (no reproducible builds, for one thing -- effectively almost as bad as undocumented).

Mostly requirements.txt, yes. It's a standard and it has been a really long time I used a package where I didn't find one.

What you mean by no reproducible builds?

Requirements.txt + virtualenv, everything is fine.

Really, significantly easier to not screw up in a large org than bundler, because dependencies don't leak by default.

Actually, `bundle exec` is way easier to use than virtualenv.
