I do wish cargo packages were namespaced a la Github. Squatting on usernames is one thing, but package and project names are often the only way you hear about something. cargo react-svg might be a terrible project or a good quality one maintained by facebook, but you wouldn't know from the name. Because of the name, it'll be at least somewhat downloaded if that's a common need. It makes grouping by org difficult too.
- MoSal 9y agoI wrote cargo-esr[1], an alternative tool for searching crates, with the purpose of narrowing down good choices. Feedback welcome. [1] https://github.com/rust-alt/cargo-esr https://github.com/rust-alt/cargo-esr
- IshKebab 9y agoYeah I agree. It would be unfortunate if for example I were to register a crate called 'json' or 'http' or whatever but make it shit.
