If Rust were a "web language", sure, I'd think it would have to have JSON support built in.
Rust is a systems programming language. If Rust had JSON support built in, I'd take it much less seriously. JSON is a fad, just like XML was 20 years ago. In 20 years, when JSON goes the way of XML, the Rust stdlib team should not have to continue maintaining a JSON parser.
An out of the box install of C can't parse JSON either. Do you think C is a joke? C++? Java?
