Rust's extended standard library
Details
The Rust standard library is relatively small compared to other languages. Out of the box, it doesn't have regular expressions, serialization, or even a standard way to represent dates. Rust projects fill these gaps with external crates. Some crates are so widely used that they feel like they should be built in. They feel like Rust's extended standard library.
Join us for a discussion on why this is the case, and a tour of some of the must-know crates for being effective in Rust.
