# Description
we've discussed a bit about the location of the standard library in the
#standard-library channel of the discord server => **the previous
location, `crates/nu-utils/src/sample_config/`, was a bit confusing**
- is `std.nu` a config file, just as `default_config.nu` or
`default_env.nu`?
- what is this `tests.nu` file inside the `sample_config/`?
in this PR, i propose moving the standard library to
`crates/nu-utils/standard_library/` for a few reasons:
- `std.nu` is not a config file, so it should not be next to config
files in a `sample_config/` directory
- `tests.nu` is confusing if mixed with other unrelated files
- `crates/nu-utils/` appears to be a good place for the standard library
as it is meant to be a tool for `nushell`
- i thought it would be strange to have `std.nu` inside
`crates/nu-utils/src/` as this directory is generally filled with `rust`
files, right?
these are the reasons why i choose to propose
`crates/nu-utils/standard_library/` 😋
# User-Facing Changes
the standard library is now used with
```bash
use crates/nu-utils/standard_library/std.nu
```
and the tests are run with
```bash
nu crates/nu-utils/standard_library/tests.nu
```
# Tests + Formatting
```bash
$nothing
```
# After Submitting
```bash
$nothing
```

Nushell core libraries and plugins
These sub-crates form both the foundation for Nu and a set of plugins which extend Nu with additional functionality.
Foundational libraries are split into two kinds of crates:
- Core crates - those crates that work together to build the Nushell language engine
- Support crates - a set of crates that support the engine with additional features like JSON support, ANSI support, and more.
Plugins are likewise also split into two types:
- Core plugins - plugins that provide part of the default experience of Nu, including access to the system properties, processes, and web-connectivity features.
- Extra plugins - these plugins run a wide range of different capabilities like working with different file types, charting, viewing binary data, and more.
