At some point, you'll need to have some sort of standard library (or at least a couple of mainstream libraries used by most of the players).
This helps making reproductible builds, makes the life of the distro packagers easiers, etc.
Luckily, it seems that the Rust community is aware of the problem, and might evolve in that direction over the next few years.
But until then, Rust is more an experimental environment that something that will be relied upon by a big number of large-scale projects.
