Rust ecosystem is already far surpassing the quality of even the old C-based libraries.

Yet it was you who listed formats off the cuff, without even doing a Google search to verify your prejudices.

The new ecosystem in modern languages is already outpacing the traditional creaky old C-based infrastructure, that is mostly held together by duct tape and wishful thinking. So new languages are clearly doing something right (and some things wrong, of course) and perhaps you should actually look at what they're doing? Instead of just mandating that cars should have a flagman walking ahead of them to make sure they don't scare horses.
