Come back this time next year and things will be different though. A nice thing about Rust is that there is so much safety is built into the language that even random libraries tend to work quite reliably.

I don’t think it is necessary to integrate http as a standard library. CGI allows using common wed servers, and there is a separate set of ecosystems around those servers.

You still need most of the http libraries for parsing requests and generating responses with CGI. You just skip the TCP bit.
