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!

    Me when I post on sunday night and the new mega rolls up on monday catgirl-huh wish we had more of the catgirl emotes....

    @ratboy@hexbear.net Magi actually introduced me to Jex Thoth like six or seven years ago now, yeah they fuckin rule. I still know nothing about them tbh...

    @LocalOaf@hexbear.net

    sick raincoat (I've been wearing in the house since I got it lmao) a pair of pants, a hat, an extremely extra fruity coat, a toy lightsaber (I think it's Kanan's?) a hoodie of one of my favorite sports teams and a plush toy for my kitties to wrassle

    Is this a fit?? Awesome though, love when the thrift actually has stuff lets-fucking-go

    @Tommasi@hexbear.net Simply not hanging out with her as before is entirely valid too, I'm just way too indignant and angry honestly. I hate that we pretty much cannot ever trust cis people not to be like this... Brutal and stupid way for her to end things without even realising it...
