nitpicking here, but this is by design - it's also true for datetimes and random numbers. it isn't a fault, it's a different packaging philosophy.

i agree with the rest - the good things about Rust just don't matter as much when developing bit-shoveling HTTP services, which is what 99% of backend seems to do nowadays.
