Piggybacking on the [motivation in winit]: `lazy_static!` is a macro whereas `once_cell` achieves the same using generics. Its implementation has also been [proposed for inclusion in `std`], making it easier to switch to a standardized version if/when that happens. The author of that winit PR is making this change to many more crates, slowly turning the scales in favour of `once_cell` in most dependency trees. Furthermore `lazy_static` hasn't published any updates for 3 years. See also [the `once_cell` F.A.Q.]. In addition "constant" `Vec`tor allocations don't need to be wrapped in a `lazy_static!` macro call at all but can be replaced with true `const` slices (or `const` sized arrays, but those are slightly more tedious to construct).

lgtm, thanks!
I have been following this for quite a while, but rather waiting for it to stabilize in std.

nice! this could have been done independently anyway. No reason for these being Vec

Yup, exactly!
Yeah, not sure when it lands but this brings us a step closer at least :) |
