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!

    doctor related stuff, not gender I guess

    I feel like I have no frame of reference for letting things go. Like, a couple of years ago my insurance got rejected and I had to stop seeing a doctor that I had seen for well, most of my life.

    I was scheduled for an appointment and walked in and got turned away. I almost flipped out. But I never saw my doctor again, and that’s frustrating, it’s like, you were my doctor, did you care? I liked this person and they didn’t address the abrupt nature with which things ended. They still see my mom! but probably forgot about me

    Like, to me, in the bigger picture, there is no moving on without addressing how things end. I do not like not understanding. I feel betrayed when things change and I am kept out of the loop. How am I supposed to trust a doctor to talk about more serious stuff if they can just deny me and then my medical history and everything is sitting in the office of someone that I don’t wanna call because they don’t wanna see me anymore.

    depressed wooooo

    Like, yeah, no wonder people disengage from health as a concept. Because it’s a goddamn business in this country and that makes people cynical about wasting their own money on something that they need. Unbelievable.

    It is frustrating to feel like nobody even conceives any of this in the same way as me.

    I hate that I am trapped with these feelings. This sucks

    And I don’t have those people who tap your shoulder and say “hey you seem tired” , I still think socializing is goddamn magic and people who have those kinds of bonds can seem blissfully unaware of how circumstantial everything about their surroundings really is. Lose it all once and see if it ever comes back the same.
