Is there any part of the Standard Library that really impresses you?
There is a macro that enables postfix macros (it also links to an RFC on the subject): https://github.com/est31/postfix-macros

Which languages have fluent assert()?
Rust can handle it with a little hackery. With assert_matches! defined to be a thin wrapper around assert! and matches!, this should work:

Any active project aiming to replicate python's batteries-included in rust?
There's none that I know of, aside from stdx which was last updated 4 years ago.

brson had a repository called https://github.com/brson/stdx and it's a pity it isn't maintained anymore: some of them are in disuse now (for example, instead of lazy_static prefer stdlib's Lazy, or better yet, you don't need them if you just want to initialize a mutex or something; also error-chain) and the list could use some maintenance

Nearly 100,000 NPM Users' Credentials Stolen in GitHub OAuth Breach
You suggested creating a super-library of vetted crates. It has been tried before, but it didn’t get any adoption. stdx - The missing batteries of Rust was never used much. Looking at it now, it recommends crates that have been superseded by others.

As an example of the above, if you're not aware of it already, you might find brson/stdx interesting.

Hey, i begin my journey into Rust !
Big libraries like Boost or the Python standard library tend to develop as a workaround for weak package management so, with Cargo, efforts to produce Boost-like compilations (Eg. stdx) withered on the vine for lack of sufficient interest.

First Impressions of Rust
It's been suggested and people even tried doing that of their own volition with projects like stdx, but they withered away for lack of interest.

Hey Rustaceans! Got an easy question? Ask here (50/2021)!
I second u/globulemix' attitude, searching on crates.io and then looking at Downloads and also git activity (might be misleading, as some projects are simply very stable). For a lot of tasks, you might wish to take a look at stdx

Batteries included stdlib?
Seems abandoned, but there was https://github.com/brson/stdx
What are some alternatives?
When comparing postfix-macros and stdx you can also consider the following projects:
slotmap - Slotmap data structure for Rust
safety-dance - Auditing crates for unsafe code which can be safely replaced
miri - An interpreter for Rust's mid-level intermediate representation
py-spy - Sampling profiler for Python programs
go - The Go programming language
rust-cpython - Rust <-> Python bindings
rfcs - RFCs for changes to Rust
cargo-benchcmp - A small utility to compare Rust micro-benchmarks.
JSON-java - A reference implementation of a JSON package in Java.
regex - An implementation of regular expressions for Rust. This implementation uses finite automata and guarantees linear time matching on all inputs.
prettier - Prettier is an opinionated code formatter.
