> Sadly Rust also didn't take inspiration in Go's std library. golang's stdlib is nothing special, and even has bad practices, such as weird casting to arbitrary interfaces and hoping it does the right thing.

I think parent refers to Go std library comprehensiveness. While Go comes with batteries included, Rust leaves up to community libraries to fill in the blanks for lots of basic functionalities such as regular expression for example.

  golang is not that special in that regard either way then, see: Java, Python, C#, etc.

    I don't think your parent said Go's std lib was special. Just that Rust could have learned from it.

Wat. Do you know a language that offers a better std library? Rust doesn't even have a standard tls or a random crate.

  Java, C#, Python.
