 > [!NOTE]
 > Using the core prelude over the standard prelude is useful when either the crate is targeting a platform that does not support the standard library or is purposefully not using the capabilities of the standard library. Those capabilities are mainly dynamic memory allocation (e.g. `Box` and `Vec`) and file and network capabilities (e.g. `std::fs` and `std::io`).
