## Install
Add to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
escargot = "0.3"
```
## Why escargot
Compared to depending on `cargo`:
- Faster compile times.
- Simpler API.
- Better interop with projects relying on other cargo versions.
- Probably slower execution, especially on platforms without an optimized `fork` (e.g. Windows).
