Context from Discord: https://discord.com/channels/601130461678272522/615962413203718156/1138694933545504819 I was working on Nu for the first time in a while and I noticed that sometimes rust-analyzer takes a really long time to run `cargo check` on the entire workspace. I dug in and it was checking a bunch of dataframe-related dependencies even though the `dataframe` feature is not built by default. It looks like this is a regression of sorts, introduced by https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/9241. Thankfully the fix is pretty easy, we can make it so everything important in `nu-cmd-dataframe` is only used when the `dataframe` feature is enabled. ### Impact on `cargo check --workspace` Before this PR: 635 crates, 33.59s After this PR: 498 crates, ~20s (with the `mold` linker and a `cargo clean` before each run, the relative difference for incremental checks will likely be much larger)
Nushell core libraries and plugins
These sub-crates form both the foundation for Nu and a set of plugins which extend Nu with additional functionality.
Foundational libraries are split into two kinds of crates:
- Core crates - those crates that work together to build the Nushell language engine
- Support crates - a set of crates that support the engine with additional features like JSON support, ANSI support, and more.
Plugins are likewise also split into two types:
- Core plugins - plugins that provide part of the default experience of Nu, including access to the system properties, processes, and web-connectivity features.
- Extra plugins - these plugins run a wide range of different capabilities like working with different file types, charting, viewing binary data, and more.
