Hello,

But, regarding the specific case of the
"extended library", there aren't many libraries, but only two= :
Batteries and Core. And I think both of them have very strong points,
and the design is quite different.

Is there a short document somewhere explaining those design differences?


I haven't seen a document comparing the goals of both directly, but ind= ividually each project stated differing goals:

- Batteries aims to be a compatible _extension_ of stdlib (so minimal or no= changes required for code already using stdlib)

- Core is an incompatible _replacement_ for stdlib, aiming to take the grea= test advantage of the type system (existing code would have to be updated t= o use Core's API)
