I was specifically speaking about the size of Rust&#x27;s standard library. Python, at least, has a massive standard library, so I&#x27;m not sure how that&#x27;s applicable here. (Or, at the very least, demonstrates that a big standard library isn&#x27;t sufficient. What matters is <i>what</i> is in the standard library, which is not fundamentally incompatible with a small standard library.)<p>Also, none of those languages started out with a tool like Cargo.<p>I made a few other comments about mitigating this as well that should be considered.
