IMHO a lot of these 0.x libraries would be called 3.. In other languages S. They often have better quality than what I find in "mature" packages in npm or PyPi

IMHO a lot of these 0.x libraries would be called 3.. In other languages S. They often have better quality than what I find in "mature" packages in npm or PyPi. Rust kind of has a perfectionist touch to it which makes it really hard to say "this public API is stable". So people stay at 0.. way longer than normal. I'm fine with that. The lack of namespacing and heavy namesquatting is rather what's annoying.
