The hobbyist device maker in me took waaay to long to be certain that this is NOT about physical batteries... (was already confident, then there's suddenly a screenshot mentioning display components)
The most promising project to solve this problem is https://github.com/rust-stdx/stdx which is (more or less) re-creating Go's standard library in Rust.
Everybody agrees that Rust's ecosystem is too fragmented, but I don't think that the solution proposed here will solve anything. The most promising project to solve this problem is https://github.com/rust-stdx/stdx which is (more or less) re-creating Go's standard library in Rust.
* It is precisely what TFA goes in for: a one-stop shop (somewhat application dependent)
* It is antithetical to the "embarassment of riches" approach that Rust tried for when they delegated almost all functionality to crates - the ecosystem has proven fruitful
Oh and a third:
It seems to me that advocacy, writing good applications, or human-readable guides will do more for convergence on crate bundles than a more technical solution. I reach for the crates I know, not yet-another-framework.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Interesting. When I learned Go a while ago, it didn't have a package manager. You just pulled down master branches directly into your global GOPATH. So pulling in a dependency was a big decision and people naturally favored "batteries included" libraries. That probably still permeates the culture today.
That is the package manager. The package has a URL. You import the URL and you're done.
PS: it looks like this issue was addressed in 2019 with the introduction of Go Modules.

Reminds me of how calling wine prefixes "bottles" makes things easier to someone.

If we're sticking with the crates/cargo metaphor, surely this should be called a "pallet".
For those struggling for context like me: this is about the Rust programming language.
