Ok, it is obvious that you are looking for something to complaint about and don't want to find a solution. That is not a productive attitude in life, but whatever floats your boat. Have a good day.

You know, that describes pretty much everyone who has anything to do with Rust.

"My ls utility isn't written in Rust, yikes! Let's fix that!"

"The comments under this C++-related HN submission aren't talking about Rust enough, yikes! Let's fix that!"

I'm obviously pointing to a solution: have a standard module that any Rust program can depend on coming from the language, which has a few sanely named types. Rather than every program defining its own.
