> So while Go encourages having reasonably sized packages, Rust unfortunately encourages huge crates. I'm a bit confused by this as I'm used to seeing the opposite complaint, that Rust packages are too small. Maybe if there were examples it would help. And while I do think we should explore ways to allow lower effort packages ("cargo script" is one component of this [0]), I see allowing submodules as a feature though maybe thats my Python/C++ background showing through. I do like that it allows both low overhead modules in your API (just a file) or allows you to separate a module out into multiple files for clearer organization (where cycles become important). While I don't know if there is a feasible design for this, but I do wish we could specify what modules are cyclic vs acyclic.
