Yeah that's one huge advantage Rust has over NPM - Rust developers are a lot more skilled and crates are generally much higher quality.

  Random remark: I've noticed the quality of rust libraries too. Which made me really surprised to see the overengineered mess that is the async-openai crate. how can one take an api as simple as openai's one, and turn it to this steaming pile of manure ? in the end, i used reqwest and created my queries manually. I guess that's what everyone does...

    The kinds of people who think OpenAI's tech is worth touching with a bargepole are generally not the kinds of people who develop and maintain high-quality Rust libraries.

      i get it, but openai being the hotest stuff happening in software for the past.. x years , i would have assumed there was some kind of official client correctly maintained for rust. I was a bit shocked to be honest. edit : i originally misread your comment. OpenAI is an important tech, no matter what you think of the company itself. Being able to easily interface with their api is important.

  Maybe that were true back when Rust wasn't mainstream on social media nor across tech influencer videos, but it's not true anymore. https://crates.io/search?q=is-even https://crates.io/search?q=is-even

    Oh no, people in the Rust community make jokes, how unprofessional!!111 You'll notice these packages are not actually used by anything.
