Is that really all that different from Python?
- chrismorgan 4y agoNo, that’s the point: if you put this stuff in the standard library, it gets frozen forever, and that’s why Rust doesn’t.
- infinityio 4y agoTo quote the python developers guide: > Because of Python’s conservative nature when it comes to backwards-compatibility, when a module is added to the stdlib its API becomes frozen. So it sounds like they do do something fairly similar, but just a different mindset on adding libraries
