"Inside the community" isn't a very strong argument in my opinion, because there is a strong bias. Folks "inside the community" are developing Rust packages because they really, really enjoy it. This is much different from having a mature language where folks who aren't as gung-ho about it develop things (out of curiosity, because work made them, etc.).
I understand there's a recognition of the problem, and I think it's great that it's on the radar.
- Manishearth 10y agoMy point about "inside the community" was solely to say that it's not as bad as he makes it out to be. You usually get recommendations and help picking one within minutes of posting on a Rust forum. (Or by googling it). Survivorship bias is irrelevant here. This is not an ideal situation to be in, but it is better than he makes it out to be. And of course, we're already working on fixing it.
