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!

      You need a flexible “job” to be on reality TV, I had a friend who got through auditions for a dating type show and had to turn it down because they basically would have had to pause a year of university with time commitments (assuming they weren’t eliminated)

      I am such a judgmental pos because everyone on these shows just seems like the bougiest fakest people so whenever they talk about like “I want to surround myself with genuine people” I’m like…sure

        I wonder if they actually do sincerely want that, but can’t recognise a genuine person to save their lives. Maybe the only people interesting enough to be netflix content are the ones most disconnected from reality and least able to handle interpersonal relationships in ways that the producers hope will be funny.

        It gets worse after the first season, and it doesn’t get any better. They have so many people in the pods, like way more than what they show (something like 60). The ones they don’t show are probably normal people who didn’t make great TV. Plus, the last couple seasons they cast by haunting Instagram accounts lol

      Real estate is code for unemployed BTW lol, you can get a license and not sell a single house. It’s an easy gig to fuck around in when you haven’t worked a real job
