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!

    I really enjoyed this write-up, thank you.

    It helps to be able to view binary genders–“woman” in particular–as constructed and heterosexual in this context, the way The Gender Accelerationist Manifesto describes, instead of as some sacred totem not to be infringed upon. I think that conception, the hopeless grasping of binary gender for validity caused a lot of strain to me when I read these things before. People are allowed to do funny things with gender.

    Yes, this. Its very freeing to not have to assimilate into a binary since ive grown a bit. I felt that pressure to be “true trans” back in the day but not anymore.

    Removing brainworms about that and AGP and all this stuff opens a world of self - acceptance and even fun that I’m convinced they were keeping from us.

      Honestly it kind of surprised me how much that and the cisnormativity generally were damaging my internal space, the mind palace. Maybe my brain is just fuckin busted (or non-binary, waow) but I needed a lot of distance from binary-gendered anything before I could stop being really weird about it. Like trying to impose a binary understanding of gender on myself internally was creating a contradiction, or something. I guess the typology also functions as binarist, too.
