I tend to agree, but I also think that there's a little bit of nuance here. For one thing, I have definitely enjoyed using a large standard library...when I didn't have access to cargo or tools of similar quality.

My impression is that many of those who are asking for Rust's stdlib to grow are also/actually asking "please make it really easy for me to use these APIs that I care about," to which I would respond "it's OK, code can be easy to reuse even if it's not in the stdlib," "try cargo," and "crates.io needs to continue improving on discoverability."

EDIT: also, hi!

To make it into some industries it needs to also be easy to grab a snapshot of all the batteries and do mods and licensing checks/approvals before doing a network unconnected install. Running a crates clone may or may not make sense. For some cases grabby an image on a thumb drive or DVD and doing a standalone install on a single machine makes sense.

Hiiii.

I think we're likely on the same page. The desire to make writing an HTTP server that much easier by providing a quick-to-use solution is entirely reasonable.

I just don't believe the solution is some 'sanctioned', permanent addition to std.

Better to be solved in crates.io.
