> Considering that images (and JavaScript) make the bulk of web pages nowadays, I'm sure many people would want to know about pure-rust libraries that handle images

Yes, but wouldn't those people want libraries that focus on images, as opposed to libraries that focus on games? (Piston is a game engine).

Piston uses a bunch of pure-Rust image handling libraries. It just integrates them for use in games.

Rust and Cargo promotes a high degree of modularity and thus re-usability. While the image library is being hosted under the Piston project's GitHub profile, the image library has nothing to do with a game engine. Piston's image library is being used in Servo, for example. Rust has created an ideal open source ecosystem.
