I've also come to really appreciate a good standard library. I used to POC things in node because it's so simple, but the dependency tree is hard to justify.
I do like Rust's stdlib too, but its a different tool for a different project. My issue with Rust is the refactor cost when it needs to change.
Not sure who to believe. :-D
This might have been a long time ago but I can't think of much that you cant do. I've seen this behavior though on some project, but it was usually not about the stdlib's deficiencies but more so the developers lack of understanding what they're supposed to do and so revert to another lib.
That’s an interesting take. I’ve heard it before but I believe the opposite. For me, Rust is much easier to refactor.
