- The hobbyist device maker in me took waaay to long to be certain that this is NOT about physical batteries...

- For those struggling for context like me: this is about the Rust programming language.

So now we get to research and compare alternative battery packs? I guess it could help if there's fewer of them, but I don't see why that would be.
- I guess the name is intending to evoke the "batteries included" metaphor, but it seems pretty terrible to me.
If we're sticking with the crates/cargo metaphor, surely this should be called a "pallet".
- Since I don't see it mentioned yet, https://blessed.rs seems to be pretty popular for finding common/recommended crates in the Rust ecosystem.

- Sounds like a great way to get dozens of dependencies before you even write a line of code

- I don't think this does enough to address to supply-chain security concerns. Before I use a crate, I want some assurance that the
transitive deps have had a proper security audit, and that I'm not a single "cargo update" away from getting malware installed in my machine.

- In my opinion this will just worsen the ecosystem. Many Rust crates are already bloated with dependencies.

- Go ecosystems seems to choose quality over quantity (fewer higher-quality libraries) over Rust.
What seems to be causing this?
- Off we go comparing battery packs.
Seriously though, I wish the dual futures, streams types to be consolidated first than building anything on top of the situation.

- 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.
