You can still have a tiny install if you want to. But most people not knowing what to do will be able to have batteries included setup.
Basically: people knowing will still have freedom, people not knowing will have an easier life.
And in the end, in 2016, you generally don't care if you download a few extra 100Mo. If you do, you will just find spend the time to find to have a smaller setup.
- hubert123 10y agopeople who dont know what to do exactly? Downloading a package? If they can't download a package then they have an entirely different problem to solve which they have to solve anyway if they want to ever productively program Rust.
- agmcleod 10y agoKnowing what packages to choose, and what works together wouldn't be a problem for them to worry about.
- themihai 10y agoSo if you don't know what to do the solution is to download all the possible packages?Is there a user story/use case solved this way? The documentation for each package is available online so wouldn't make sense to actually read it before to download a package?
- sametmax 10y agoOne of the great things with Python is the stdlib with a lot of things provided for you. And one of the most terrible things in JS is the total lack of it. Rust choose a middle ground: provide a plateform by default, yet let you choose to not use it. Win win.

- sametmax 10y agoI worked in Africa for a long time, I do know the value of a small dl. But in that case, it doesn't prevent you from : - choosing a bare bone small manual install; - making the download in advance in a place where you can or during the night; It's not like you have less option. You just have a clear default choice.
