This reduces the number of dependencies to build for `cargo build` or `cargo run` by around 19. Will not speed up CI as we need to `cargo test` but should help for `cargo install` or users just building from source. Time saved on my machine ~0.8 secs so likely unnoticable in noise. Larger future goal is reducing longer dependency chains to allow more parallel compilation.
Nushell core libraries and plugins
These sub-crates form both the foundation for Nu and a set of plugins which extend Nu with additional functionality.
Foundational libraries are split into two kinds of crates:
- Core crates - those crates that work together to build the Nushell language engine
- Support crates - a set of crates that support the engine with additional features like JSON support, ANSI support, and more.
Plugins are likewise also split into two types:
- Core plugins - plugins that provide part of the default experience of Nu, including access to the system properties, processes, and web-connectivity features.
- Extra plugins - these plugins run a wide range of different capabilities like working with different file types, charting, viewing binary data, and more.
