alt Hacker NewsI think maybe the right answer is to have a standardized, curated group of libraries pegged at some sort of LTS release that only backports security fixes. However, someone would need to pay for creating and maintaining this -- and then you wonder where the money would come from?

someone tried doing this for rust, but the reaction was that it was vibe-coded/low quality.

Note that there are baby versions of this that are uncontentious, for example
this is missing the LTS release. but it is a curated group of libraries that are relatively uncontentious to recommend.
That or potentially fast tracking merging popular libraries into the standard library. Or at least concepts from popular libraries. Basically all the "most downloaded" crates on the Crates.io front page should be candidates for merging into the standard library.
