Could be like boost libs. They make the claim that it’s about pushing them into the standard library but some of those libs have been in there forever.

- fbdab103 4y agoI think that's a great comparison. Establish a better baseline standard, but one can always reach out to a cutting edge crate if the library set is insufficient.
- Animats 4y agoIt's a useful comparison, although Boost has traditionally been the home of cool template code you're not supposed to understand but can use. For Rust, the problem is widely used crates such as "hyper" (http), "tokio" (support for async), and "glam" (2D and 3D vectors and matrices.) These are widely used, but not part of the standard library. They're not basic enough to be standard, and they all have alternatives. But if you use them, you need them to be stable.
