I’m not sure what the solution is here. People don’t seem to like lots of tiny crates and people also don’t like big standard libraries. People talk about Go’s standard library as the gold standard but I don’t really agree; there’s plenty of junk in there too (container/).

In absence of that, I think frameworks help:https://iqlusion.blog/introducing-abscissa-rust-application-framework …

I guess what Rust needs is a working deprecation policy. Even Java gave up on the "never fix/remove anything" approach a while ago.

stuff does get deprecated in libstd, only it doesn't get removed
