I would say, evaluate how much work it would take to build it yourself, and if that is larger than your scope allows ask yourself some serious questions about whether the solution you came up with is overly complex.

Some problems are hard to solve. But not all of them are.

An example, and this is an observation. Where can I grab a library that just parses parses HTTP 1.0, HTTP 1.1 and HTTP 2.0 messages. Not a HTTP framework, something along the lines of httpparse. I pass it a buffer of bytes and out the other end pops a Result<error, HTTPResponse>.

Sure there are hard problems to solve there but they are API design problems.

I don't need tokio or some sort of web abstraction. If I want to use HTTP as a transport over carrier pidgeon I want to be able to do that with said library.

Doesn't exactly exist though and because everyone just pulls in Tokio( I do mean the entire Tower stack or whatever it's called these says) nobody even notices the issue. And every single HTTP server rewrites that functionality with slightly different edge cases and bugs.

That's basic internet infrastructure right there and we can't get a conical library for that yet you are arguing that 3 different implementations of the aame hash function pulled into the same project is viable?
