An alternative I'm not against is having the concept of "crate distros", where a bunch of related crates can be pulled in in one go with a tested set of versions. Something that delivers an experience like Django or Rails. At that point the distinction of "std" and these packages is one of nomenclature (and the kept ability to evolve independently from the compiler release schedule and remove things in the later).
- n_kr 4y agoThat would be a great thing to have, but I can't imagine how that can be maintained. Managing versions of gdal+gdal-sys+geo+ndarray+ndarray-linalg has been a giant PITA recently so I for one would welcome this feature.
- jamincan 4y agoIt's not exactly what you are talking about, but tokio is kind of doing this - hyper, tonic, tower, tracing etc. and then all packaged together in axum.
