I understand there are a lot of people on HN with "web goggles" and a severe case of "all development is web development" myopia, but seriously this is just over the top. I'm a "C++ guy" (that is, I like writing programs using C++ and probably always will, even if I use others from time to time), but I would never object to a language like Rust on the basis that it lacks an http package. HTTP is a high level communication protocol. It isn't the only such, certainly not the most efficient, and definitely not even the best. To bash on a language for lack of "native" support for http is just a bit ridiculous.
