There are tradeoffs, but overall I prefer rust's "free market" solution over Pythons "batteries included". Crates can evolve, compete and innovate much more freely than the standard library can. Most importantly they can be deprecated or abandoned when better approaches are found, while anything in the standard library has to be supported forever. And when the dust settles and everyone agrees on one canonically best implementation, that sometimes does get incorporated into the standard library.
