And yet with Python and JS I don’t need to pull a freaking third-party library for something as basic as JSON.

- ModernMech 2y agoIf I don't need it, it's not basic it's just useless.
- kelnos 2y agoMost of my Rust projects don't need a JSON parser. You probably haven't been a programmer that long if you think JSON is "basic". If it was 20 years ago, you'd be arguing for an XML parser in Rust's stdlib. In 20 years I'm sure it will be something else. File/data formats come and go. The stdlib of a systems programming language shouldn't be taking on a forever maintenance burden for something that likely won't be in widespread use for all that long.
- wtetzner 2y agoNope, instead it's pulled into every project whether you need it or not.
- wiseowise 2y agoPulled how?
