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!

    what are some examples of gendered actions like this, and more importantly almost, what do the red lights look like?

    happy to share! there's still people very close to me that just can't get past me not being a man and that's actually easier to disregard. like i'm clearly fucking not, how did you not see how shit of a job i was doing pretending to be one? but i've done this big thing, i've asserted that i'm a woman, and now i carry all these expectations of being a woman that i've only had 6 months to learn about.

    when i found out i was autistic i became hyperaware of all the masking i was doing to pretend to be NT. when i found out i was trans i thought the same thing about pretending to be a man. but now that i'm out as trans, i've fallen right into another fucking framework that i have to conform to ohnoes

    specific examples. cw dysphoria, brainworms

    best not to read


    We love our bitter, sarcastic garbage lady because she reflects our failings in a halfway loveable manner, I think

    ahh that's for sure, it's a nice reminder that i don't have to be perfect. i know i've had lots of fuckups and i know i will continue doing so. thanks for that Maria lea-finger-guns___

      This comment is a lot all at once catgirl-huh let's have a look... I swear I won't be mean.

      but now that i'm out as trans, i've fallen right into another fucking framework that i have to conform to ohnoes

      You don't, though? You can always just not. Autistic cis women have been very pointedly not conforming that way for at least a while, and while yes it's not exactly the same, you really can just wear like, sweatpants and a hoodie, if you want. I do! There actually aren't rules, I promise. It gets easier, I think, as you go on and get more comfortable with your gender.

      oh, brainworms

      i can't walk somewhere without being anxious of if my hips are moving enough, i freak out when my shoulders slouch in a certain way, i try to make myself as small as possible, i have to wear my most fashionable outfit but never the same one twice,

      Sorry, is there a specific way women have to slouch their shoulders? I guess I've been cheating by not doing that and still getting gendered right... Plus, who actually pays attention to anyone's hip movement... madeline-shock I would say that shit's cisnormative but it isn't even,I can GUARANTEE YOU a decent percent of cis women do not meet whatever parameters you have set here. It all smells too much of "etiquette classes", fucking finishing schools set up by the bourgeoisie to uphold patriarchal norms... Shit, see CIS WOMEN need fucking CLASSES to learn this shit, even! It isn't real, it was made up BY A GUY badeline-rage

      With regard to making yourself small, eh y'know, is femme only when someone is a certain definition of small? I'm not sure how much it helps though honestly... The outfit 'rules' though, that's not a real thing for anybody. I bet most people do not bother looking decent to go get groceries, y'know...

      but everywhere else i feel this constant overwhelming anxiety about presenting "correctly" and it's exhausting. i want to say "fuck it all, i'll do whatever tf i want" but the more i keep this coping mechanism going, the more i do actually feel correctly gendered by these people. i don't want to care but i feel like i don't have a choice

      I promise you do, though. Anecdotally speaking I had worse results (in terms of misgendering) when I was deliberately presenting very femme all the time, Idk what that says about anything. But disregarding that you don't owe anyone a performance in exchange for basic respect, I'm just not sure it actually helps 100% of the time. I dunno, you could always start really small, like if you wanna wear the same outfit two in a row, you could? Go out with less or even no makeup, just do these once or twice as an experiment, see how it goes? I sort of took it slow too, I mean there was probably five or six years between the last time I went out fully dressed up as a matter of course, and the first time I went out in sweatpants and a hoodie, without doing my hair. You don't have to go full burn-your-bra right away, it's about being comfortable meow-hug

      a red light is something like "ha! you fucked up, i see now that you're not really a woman. you've gone and justified all the preconceptions i have about you and all trans people." i know that nobody's realistically thinking that but i get that vibe when someone specifically treats me differently to cis women (e.g. giving everyone else a hug and me a handshake, openly objectifying women in a voice call and expecting me to agree). it makes me overanalyze and try to figure out what my "tell" was.

      Two things: One, you won't ever figure out what your "tell" was, first because it doesn't exist but also because whether or not anyone passes as a gender to someone else is an entirely subjective matter that has many factors, that amount to their perception of a person. Two, though, I'm not really sure all or any of the examples you cite are passing matters. Someone who's gonna be shit like that is just a transphobe, really it wouldn't matter if you were perfectively cisnormatively passing at all times. The second they know you're trans, that shit will come out. Trying to mold your appearance and presentation to the whims and perceptions of transphobes does not seem that cash money, and also they should die.

      I don't know how much it even bears thinking about. Obviously getting treated differently by transphobe fucks like that is deeply unpleasant, but the problem is not with you, it's with them! and also they should die, violently. Knowing someone is trans (however that perception has been arrived at) should not change your treatment of them like this.

      it's a nice reminder that i don't have to be perfect. i know i've had lots of fuckups and i know i will continue doing so.

      Yeah this is pretty much the core appeal of Nevada, I think. Maria as a character rules so much, even though she's sincerely shitty in many of her takes, the portrayal of her as a deeply flawed trans person absolutely rocks. Ah, my smelly beloved... kris-love

        thank you, you were very kind (sorry it kind of spilled out all at once, i blame caffeine?). i'll try to take on your advice, i know you're right on every point - i just need to internalise it.

        spoiler

        Shit, see CIS WOMEN need fucking CLASSES to learn this shit, even! It isn't real, it was made up BY A GUY

        yeahhhhh fuck that guy blob-stabby

        Trying to mold your appearance and presentation to the whims and perceptions of transphobes does not seem that cash money, and also they should die.

        i know and definitely fuck transphobes, but i think my anxiety tries to assume everyone thinks like one. they were shit examples too, my mind was traveling somewhere else but i was trying to highlight how much i think about passing. it's so exhausting. i'm sure it well get better with time though, i can hope


        genuinely tysm for the chat meow-hug , i got a lot to think about so i'm gonna go ralsei-doobie and chew on it

          Oh no need to apologise, I didn't mean to imply it was "too much" or anything, good reply tbqh. And yeah the internalisation is the hard part :nyoro~:

          spoiler

          yeahhhhh fuck that guy

          That guy deserves to be on the wall or something, there are a lot of probably-already-dead guys who have a LOT to answer for popuko-gun

          i think my anxiety tries to assume everyone thinks like one. they were shit examples too, my mind was traveling somewhere else but i was trying to highlight how much i think about passing. it's so exhausting.

          Especially with autism, it's way too much to be thinking about all at once. Social cues and whatever is enough, no more weird incomprehensible garbage please! lea-tired I mean, for sure some people do think like transphobes (read: are transphobes) that way, but they're not even remotely worth worrying about, fuck em tbh.

          You're welcome meow-hug and fuck yeah, ralsei-doobie !!!!! Lfg trans-heart
