I loved this perspective from a hardware oriented engineer coming to appreciate the enormous complexity and difficulty in providing a stable and useful data structures and algorithms library as part of, say, rust std.

Each complaint is valid, but some of it is (they admit) coming from a bit of naivete. They're surprised red black trees are included in the Linux kernel? why? They were surprised at how useful rust std and a good? data structure foundation was? why?
