> often with duplicated functionality (multiple Base64, rand, sha256, etc crates)
replyI don’t think this is true unless they differ in major versions no? Cargo will apply semantic versioning and pick the best available given the cargo.toml version constraints.
I don't think they mean multiple versions of the same crate (although can certainly happen too), but rather multiple different crates that cover the same functionality.
replySo many great and balanced comments in this thread.
replySure, and I'm available to provide balance commentary for hire, too ;-)
replyI'm pretty sure you wouldn't like to work on what I'm working on right now though!
