A language empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.
from rust-lang.org
Rust by itself is a great language, but what really makes it shine are its many great crates. The ecosystem around rust is one of the best there is, and its documentation is practically unrivalled. So lets look at some of those crates!
actix-web
Actix-web is an amazing web server framework for rust. It's modular, easy to use, intuitive and fast. It's also what lemmy is built on! So when you use this very site, you are using something build with actix!
Bevy
Bevy is a code first game engine for rust, based on the ECS paradigm. It's incredibly refreshing and different from most other engines. It is also unbelievably modular, in fact, just about every part of the engine cam be removed or added as you please! If you are every looking for something simple to play around, try bevy!
Tokio
The backbone of most asynchronous rust. It provides everything needed to build reliable, fast web applications!
Serde
Serde is the go-to library for serialization and deserialisation in rust. Its derive macros make it a breeze to use, and there are countless crates supporting various formats with Serde!
SQLx
SQLx is an amazingly simple sql handling crate. It is both feature rich and yet simple, and just a joy to use!
Reqwest
A neat little crate for sending http(s) requests! It's also used in Lemmy, and just about anywhere else where someone needs to do get some thing from an http(s) endpoint!
And this is far from all! Rust is a lovely language, with an even more amazing ecosystem!
Have an amazing week, everyone!

Been offline for a couple of days as I've been travelling to spend christmas with my family. Things have been going great so far. My mom was always completely supportive but a little awkward about things, but she seems to have overcome that and is using my new name more and more, and while my dad does not, he no longer deliberately misgenders me either, so I hope he's on the right path. Extremely grateful to my sister who's always been super supportive. She's also LGBTQ so unlike my parents she knows what a trans person is. Just lifts a burden of my shoulders to have at least one person who just understands without me needing to explain everything, and she's even offered to talk to our grandparents about it if I don't want to. I think the fact that she's been using my name and has been gendering me correctly since the moment I told her I was trans makes it easier for my parents to do the same.
I'm not out to most of my relatives because I don't keep in contact with them and live far away, but I'm 100 % done with boymoding, so I'll just show up as myself and they can think whatever. Kinda looking forward to seeing how they react tbh
