Ok thanks. Is the intention for that to grow, as a curated set of libraries that isn't quite the standard library? Or so you think some of those will move into the standard library if they become canonical or stable enough?
- steveklabnik 7y agoWe’ll see; it’s not a simple thing. In theory they can move into the standard library, but none ever have. The process exists though.
- raphlinus 7y agoI can think of a bunch of stuff that has moved or is moving from third party crates into the standard library: parking_lot, hashbrown, (minimal) Future trait. But I agree that no crate has moved wholesale into the standard lib.
- steveklabnik 7y agoparking lot and hashbrown moved their internals, replacing ones that already existed. This is probably a distinction that doesn’t actually matter but in my head it’s different for some reason, thanks for pointing it out :)
