Oh, I didn't want to imply people are stupid, after all, I (and many other people) made the same error 25 years ago.
But talking about Cargo (the last time I used Java there had been no Maven yet), the packages really need at least some sort of namespaces. But I don't think that (newer) languages without a really "battery" standard library can evade the problems of "too many transitive dependencies".
- cmrdporcupine 3y agoYeah I agree in principle. There's lots of people who defend it but I think it is a mistake for the Rust stdlib to be missing a lot of quite basic common stuff (random numbers, sha256, md5 are obvious ones to me for example.) They could even break said lib up (stdlib, stdlib-ext, stdlib-embedded) if necessary. But status quo is just inviting future disaster in my opinion. And don't get me started on the async story. Yikes. Rust is the language that Tokio ate.
