Rust for Windows

Agreed. BTW if you're looking for a apt/brew like experience on Windows proper, try chocolatey: https://chocolatey.org/

(Obviously there's also the Windows store, which is not bad for GUI programs, but for more developer-type stuff - e.g. installing python - chocolatey is great.)

I love chocolatey and use it quite a bit. But I like Arch Linux's AUR more because it contains way more packages. Though Microsoft also seems to be on their way to make their own

It's a different use case - use Chocolatey to manage native windows installers - it's more like brew casks.

I prefer scoop myself. Everything is isolated to the users profile. Check it out.

Hasn't WinGet superceded Choco of late?

WinGet isn't publicly available yet.

Scoop is a good option too IMO.
