I'll suggest that the Rust core team, who are very experienced and capable at making compilers, PL design, data structures, might not know much about implementing the HTTP protocol, parsing XML, or particularly UI framework design (which has driven many engineers to madness already). They should focus on the language and let the community build tools for the application layer.
- kibwen 4y agoFun fact, in the pre-1.0 days Rust did try to provide a batteries-included stdlib, and came to the exact same conclusions as you have. :P In the run-up to 1.0 an enormous number of modules were jettisoned from std and into the then-new crates.io. I'm not opposed to having a larger Rust stdlib, but it is better to at least let subject domain experts hack on the problem for a while until, perhaps, the community standardizes on a de facto API.
