That's great news! Honestly I'm more interested in stuff that involves some degree of heavy-lifting like real-time audio processing etc. for which JavaScript is going to be slow(no SIMD).

Do you think there will ever be a standalone package that has all the blessed crates? Getting approval to use boost at work was hard enough. Getting them to approve any random 3rd tier dependency I might unintentionally pull down from crates is not even worth asking.

  It's not clear. The Rust core team proposed such a thing, but it was resoundingly rejected by the community. There are some people working on projects like this, http://github.com/brson/stdx http://github.com/brson/stdx for example.

    Interesting, thanks! The ideal would be someone to bundle said crates and then sell the bundling service. In my experience companies don't like anything free. It also helps if you are going to drop it on an air gapped dev network.
