I’m all for trimming the stdlib and rectifying mistakes, but have you evaluated how much of the ecosystem, particularly the data processing systems, such as Kafka, Cassandra, Elasticsearch, HBase to name a few, depend on it? You say “integrated over all users”—whom are you referring to?

People on those platforms are already adding C++ and Rust written alternatives with compatible networking protocols, if this goes badly, it will only accelerate the transition.

I’ve been using the C++ rewrites for a while and been enjoying it, are there also drop-in replacements in Rust now? Never happened to come across one, would be interested to learn more about it.
