kotlin stdlib has a function for everything

I love how sometimes Python3's stdlib still carries hacks around for the unlikely case that you run your stdlib on Python 2.0.

so, why is there no Either in rust's stdlib?

stdlib-js est une bibliothèque qui se veut devenir un standard dans le monde JavaScript et Node·js et se concentre sur tout ce qui touche au calcul, la manipulation et la représentation de données et propose de nombreuses fonctionnalités ⬇️

Ad hominem. Appeal to authority. Begging the question. No true Scotsman. Motte and Bailey. Middle ground fallacy. Non sequitur.

me: "does the c stdlib have a clamp() function?"

me, idiot: *types "c clamp" into a web search*

who do i trick into moving google/uuid into golang's stdlib

i should probably make this into a blog post, but, here's why #rustlang 's stdlib stdout api is line buffered by default
okay sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

i went and looked at the meeting notes from around the time, and couldn't find any discussion. but this was way back in the day, so changes like this just kinda being made were normal
Return a buffered stdin by default. by alexcrichton · Pull Request #12422 · rust-lang/rust
One of the most common ways to use the stdin stream is to read it line by line for a small program. In order to facilitate this common usage pattern, this commit changes the stdin() function to ret...

I can’t get this out of my head. Will Zig just not fix a bug that an LLM found? Is there an exclusion zone around a bug, can you fence off a stdlib vuln by telling them first but slapping some matmuls on it?
ed3d.net Ed @ed3d.net · Jul 16
"No LLMs for finding bugs." I wish I had this level of unearned confidence in my ability to write code. After the age of 22, anyway.
"No LLMs for brainstorming and then sharing the results of that brainstorming, even if you create the prose. If you use a chatbot to give you advice on a comment on the issue tracker, that comment is unwelcome."

jesus christ the Zig anti-LLM code of conduct is deranged

Very few people know that the Go standard library has an internal DSL used to make sure that no new intra-stdlib dependencies are added when a change happens:

We should fix this. Swift stdlib style guide dictates no space before, space after.

i only use stdlib

If you stare into Go's stdlib long enough, you start seeing things.

Dark things. Things you weren't meant to see.

Like this function that uses variables named φ and β.

how is there noting in rust stdlib to do permutations for an iter ???
May 3, 2026 at 6:42 PM
Most stdlib parsing functions accept an optional culture argument, pass CultureInfo.InvariantCulture for it

Simplicity, effective stdlib, easy to get things right using idioms (e.g "comma ok")

ocaml folks: would it be helpful if the stdlib api docs included examples? i think so.
February 7, 2025 at 5:24 AM
it’d be fun to experience an ocaml with a stance on an stdlib, debug printing, concurrency, and a million other tiny things

I can finally SEE my whole game!👀

Added a Stats tab to my tool! Every investigation at a glance, with tiny flowcharts and bar charts comparing them all😍

It's all just a single HTML file + a tiny Python stdlib server reading my actual #Unity CSVs live.

quick binary size check for a program that immediately exits:

c compiled with clang, with stdlib: 20K
rust compiled with rustc, no stdlib: 16K
rust compiled with rustc, stdlib included: 432K

all 3 have highest optimization level enabled

wild for google's lawyers to grafitti the python stdlib with their gang tag but i guess at this point it's a heritage site
