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!

      Oat milk in coffee is awesome, because the weird slight oatmeal-cookie taste of all oatmilk means it isn't always a 1:1 replacement for regular milk and some things using it smell or taste slightly different.

      Coffee feels like it was crying out for oat milk all along though, it's an objective improvement on disgusting dairy milk and a better alternative to creamer, too. It results in what almost tastes like a chocolate chip oatmeal cookie... drink.

      Yeag.........

      As far as morning coffee goes Idk, it does literally nothing but make me slightly tired, it's also expensive but I will drink it habitually for months at a time and then stop cold no problem. I like it mostly because I actually think it tastes good and hot drinks are a weird stim for me, but coffee feels weirdly evil on many levels so I tend toward black tea more.
