> Libraries. C++’s stdlib has gotten a lot better, but it still can’t parse json or make web requests or create zip files.
... but rust cannot do this three things either from just the stdlib? I don't see anything related to requests, json, or zip files in here: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/#modules
otherwise if you can install libraries, json, zip and web requests are just one vcpkg / conan dependency away in C++ too - and if you want to limit the amount of dependencies you can just use boost which in 2022 does support json and web requests, and can compress / decompress gzip (not zip though :/)
