If you come at it from c/c++ systems programming and you never even had a decent package management story then of course Rust will be a blessing. Those that will be confused and wonder what the hell it’s about is those who come from node/go/Java and think that using http is a “hello world” example of what Rust should do with ease. > I also dont know why npm and node get so much shit for needing so many libraries but rust and cargo get a pass for these small libraries everywhere. I think one big difference is the less promiscuous (but more frustrating) dependency management. In node I end up with 15 versions of a popular “should have been stdlib” library. In Rust you usually just have to allow one. So the libraries that form core functionality tend to be conservative about changes and get absorbed into std. Js obviously doesn’t add things to the core platform very quickly.
