So in other words, you want the Rust Cookbook to be dogmatic instead of pragmatic. Which of those would be more useful to beginner and intermediate Rust programmers?
- saagarjha 8y agoPersonally, I think it's a lot more useful to teach beginners and intermediate Rust programmers the extent of the standard library than teach them to grab the first library they find for everything–this is something that they can find out themselves when they realize that the standard library doesn't do what they want. Especially when it's coming from an first-party source like this one.
- GolDDranks 8y agoThe point of this book isn't to function neither as the tutorial or intro to the language, nor as a language refererence or stdlib API referenece. It's purpose is to collect common tasks and show idiomatic and practical way to do them in Rust. In the process, its purpose is to introduce central libraries in the ecosystem. It sounds that you want it – and maybe the model of developing software in Rust itself? – to be something entirely different than it actually is.
