Now that the language syntax is mostly stabilized, i am hoping that more focus will go to the standard library. Currently it seems rather ad hoc and not always consistent (which is understandable because of all the language changes).

Absolutely, the standard libraries are sorely desperate for some TLC. If anyone fancies themselves a connoisseur of batteries-included libraries in the vein of Python and Go, even just stubbing out a nice API without any code would go a long way towards directing the community development effort.
Sounds intressting. Data Structure libs are one of the best cases to show of how cool and polymorthy your language can be.

I dont know if that exists allready but I think I am going to implment a persisten vector (like clojure vector) in rust and see if it interacts nice with other libs.

I have done with other languages, would give a lot of inside into rust.

That sounds great. We do have a basic package management system (https://github.com/mozilla/cargo-central), so it'll be easy to get anything you write into the community.
