Nushell currently depends on three different versions of the `windows` crate: `0.44.0`, `0.52.0`, and `0.54.0`. This PR bumps several dependencies so that the `nu` binary only depends on `0.56.0`. On my machine, this PR makes `cargo build` about 10% faster. The polars plugin still uses its own version of the `windows` crate though, which is not ideal. We'll need to bump the `polars` crate to fix that, but it breaks a lot of our code. (`polars 1.0` release anyone?)
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.
