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!

    usually don't bother correcting strangers, might work on that but idk, I kinda just hate the hassle

    I gotta admit yea, and I don't even have cool pronouns. Whenever people irl are like 'woman!' it's just, yeah whatever y'know, close enough.

    I shy away from really articulating this sometimes because I feel like it might come across as insensitive to binary trans ppl but uh

    What if it was insensitive to non binary trans people thonk-trans Sorry the more I think about this the less sense it makes, I dunno. Only by being assigned female can you be short, have small frame and vulva? I get the point but it doesn't feel on to me, Idk.

    often thinking "I wish other people could describe me as 'elegant' and that doesn't really seem attainable in a way I'd be happy with given the hand I've been dealt"

    I think I sort of grasp this, but this is also getting sort of impressionistic, a bit abstract. I mean, I know what "the wrong kind of androgynous" means sort of, because that's when you are androgynous but randomly with gender connotations, blegh this shit is awful.

    I'm not trying to be a jackass or anything, I'm just having trouble grasping this all the way, Idk
