but to clarify, this was about a year ago where I struggled to find an auto completion for HttpServer and when I searched it up jdk HttpServer was simply not in the results so I made assumptions that were wrong.
I tried to implement a minimal server just to realize that there is still no way to do so in java 21... I stand corrected I guess it was recently added: https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/25/docs/api/jdk.https..., but it's a sun package instead of standard RT - but probably because it is still early.
I did mention that, but for a lot of things it is not enough compared to a full http client most stdlib's have. HttpClient was introducted for a reason.
It’s not that unique though. I can say that Python and hell, even PHP have pretty complete but also well documented stdlib.
Java is meh tier but C# is also pretty good in this aspect.
It’s totally a choice for Rust not to have a real stdlib and actually I feel like that would maybe make Rust maybe the best language overall.
