Absolutely not! Please...
IMHO, what needs to be in std are just APIs (modules,
interfaces, declarations)...
Leave the implementations elsewhere please. Standard library is
already too large for my taste!
What should be in std are just core stuff that is needed
everywhere.
Depends on what you consider core stuff. I don't think webserver
should be a part of the standard library, but I think stuff like
sockets, XML and JSON should. Serialization? Debatable. Database
driver? Maybe not specific backends, but there could be a generic
driver interface.
