I am stating it can be, and already is, used for other tasks, not just web servers. Although the server and networking cases were originally what it was built for and the plans were stay there.

Not "any" Rust library, the idea is to not reinvent the already made libraries out there for the use cases of the standard library, and rather make an interop with Lua. I am not sure what would count as unrelated to webservers but there are file system, templating, database, cryptography (minimal at the moment), serialization and deserialization moudles, with upcoming compression, logging, testing, and more coming soon https://github.com/ArkForgeLabs/Astra/issues/114



I know, I am just saying even in the documentation it mentions that they are implemented because it is good / useful for web browsers.

You should totally implement BLAKE2b and ChaCha20. FWIW, BLAKE3 is in Rust already.

Additionally, these features seem to be highly related to web servers, IMO. Not exclusively so, but still.
