    What’s the point of having a function in the standard library if the universal recommendation is to never use it?

      Is that the recommendation? This is the first time I’ve actually seen it discussed.

      I’m wondering at this point if a new, different stdlib would be better. Or just use Rust.

        To be honest, my comment probably applies more to gets, but the point is the same.
