removing the `std` feature as well would drop some dependencies tied to `rust_decimal` from the `Cargo.lock` but unclear to me what the actual impact on compile times is. We may want to consider dropping the `byte-unit` dependency altogether as we have a significant fraction of our own logic to support the byte units with 1024 and 1000 prefixes. Not sure which fraction is covered by us or the dependency.
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.
