I too think that in a long run requests
is a better name compared to reqwest
. It’s simply has less mental burden and less surprising for new users. Difference between plural form of the word and misspelled one is quite substantial. Regarding uniqueness of the name, I don’t think it outweighs costs. As for search, personally I always add “rust” while searching crates and even now googling for “requests rust” gives crates.io as a first link.

I am glad we use reqwest, even if awkward to type, due to the uniqueness… makes it easy to search. Sucks so much when you get snake-related results when interested in the Python, or metal-related results when interested in the Rust.
