# Description `derive(EnumIter)` is only required to run completeness tests. Thus make the derive conditional on test and move `strum` and `strum_macros` to the dev dependencies. ## Is it worth it? Removing this derive does not change the binary size (checked via `cargo bloat --crates` from `cargo-bloat`). Compile time change is below a second so hard to judge based on a single run of `cargo clean --profile dev; cargo build --timings` Unsure if this negatively impacts how incremental compilation can recompile when you switch between `cargo build`/`run` and `cargo test` in your local workflow. To get rid of `strum`/`strum_macros` as a proc macro crate we would need to also remove it from `reedline`. Further more a crate in the `polars` dependency tree uses `strum` (curently not as relevant for the 1.0 build).
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.
