Well thank you. I just trying to guess where did you get the idea that I am not using 3rd party libs.

I think it is trivial. Here is particular example for cpp-http library that I use in some of my projects:

  a) download from github
  b) add add_subdirectory("./3rd-party/cpp-httplib") into CMakeLists.txt file

That is it. Ready for use.

That’s fine, but most modern tooling “automates” this for you and gives you easy tooling to manage versions as well.

Additionally, you get a nice list in a simple spot of exactly what you need that isn’t just documentation. Anyone can easily pull your project and contribute.

Being able to easily manage deps has issues (such as a tendency to trend toward left-pad), but there’s also significant benefits as well that become readily apparent when you compare cargo with CMake (I understand they’re not completely comparable)
