I kind of wish Rust would eventually focus on a rich standard library. I'm talking everything from a basic but usable web HTTP server which others like Python and even Go (which I attribute to their success via net/http being built-in and OOTB) have available from the get-go. I also think Rust should heavily consider building a cross-platform UI stack, it doesn't have to be insanely exhaustive, maybe it can just seek for feature parity with something like Tk, but it would lead to far more adoption I think.
Who doesn't prefer to just build something in a language where you know first time setup is pretty straight forward as opposed to wasting hours setting up some convoluted web project by hand?
I think Rust needs to invest in providing a rich standard library, even if it is just its own library that is fully optional, as long as the core team works on and maintains it, I think it could do plenty of net-good for Rust as a whole.
I'm also thinking of my favorite things about languages like Racket and Python which is a really simple editor that is built-in. Again, Rust needs to be able to build UIs to achieve this.
