You can find many articles on the origin of the term. I like this one from 1959:

You're being downvoted--it's because you missed the pun. Everyone knows the term "cargo cult". The pun is combining that with that the Rust package manager is named "Cargo".

Okay, thanks for telling me.

Not everyone knows this term, surely.

And I didn't know the Rust package manager is called "Cargo".
