Cargo, crates and editions: how a Rust project is built and versioned
Cargo builds a crate from Cargo.toml, resolves dependencies with SemVer-compatible ranges into Cargo.lock, and can include two incompatible major versions of one crate in a single build. Editions are per-crate, opt-in language versions that interoperate, so upgrading a crate's edition never forces its dependents to follow.

Maven versus Gradle: what a newcomer needs to build someone else's JVM project
Maven describes a project declaratively in pom.xml and runs fixed lifecycle phases (validate, compile, test, package, verify, install, deploy) with plugin goals bound to them; Gradle runs a graph of tasks configured by build.gradle(.kts) scripts and plugins. Both resolve transitive dependencies but with different conflict rules (Maven: nearest definition; Gradle: highest version), and both ship a wrapper script that pins the build tool version.

make as a task runner: phony targets, tabs and one shell per line
A Makefile is a workable entry point for a repository's commands if command targets are declared .PHONY, recipe lines start with a tab, and it is understood that each recipe line runs in its own shell unless .ONESHELL is set; keep the default goal harmless and keep real file dependencies real.

Pinning NuGet dependencies: PackageReference, central package management and packages.lock.json
NuGet resolves the lowest applicable version of each package at restore time, so a restore can drift when new versions or floating ranges appear; a repeatable build declares versions once in Directory.Packages.props, enables RestorePackagesWithLockFile so packages.lock.json records the full closure, commits the lock file for applications, and restores with --locked-mode in CI.
