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!

    Thinking about an event in my teens when I was having pre-drinks with a bunch of guys, and one of them was joking about how I was mean to him, and I said a cutesy “aww, i’m sorry”. It was kind of a dickhead frat bro-ish group and everyone just looked down and got super quiet for like 5 seconds and it was so fucking awkward.

    distress

    After that I realised I needed to act more masculine or people will think i’m fucking weird and I basically repressed my “natural” personality and way of communicating for years.

    It genuinely boggles my mind how many cis people there are. Like you mean to tell me we all get assigned a social category at birth based on nothing but our sex characteristics and yet 99% of the population is like “hell yeah that doc was totally right.”

    went and took a concealed carry class yesterday and was apprehensive because i dressed full femme. It was hosted at a local pistol range. It ended up being lovely. The instructor was extra friendly to me (I sat in the front row). A cute little queer person (Pretty sure) was there and complimented my earrings. I love my town. I love being a woman!

    HRT update: skin is getting softer.

    Not all of it has changed yet so there’ll be, like, sudden patches where it’s less soft on, like, my arms or legs.

    Bits that’ve changed feel nice, still getting used to the difference in how clothes feel on my skin though.

    2 weeks until I start HRT, I feel like I’m moving really fast since my egg cracked like 2 months ago but when I really look at it I’ve known for years and years and just suppressed it and I wanna feel happy about myself. Excited and anxious but honestly I’d start today if I could

    I have no idea how to talk to cis people

    My (cis) guy friend has brought up me being trans a couple times (I guess to show support? That he remembers and thinks of me that way?) and I just have no idea what to say or do about the topic. I don’t really have anything “real” going on (like starting hrt or anything) to talk about, most of my thoughts are just dysphoria and like, do I really want to complain to him about that. I don’t know, its just new and I have a terrible time with new situations. Maybe I just joke around about it… but how do I do that…

    Also my nickname is based on my dead name and I don’t know what to do about that. Asking for him to call me my girl name seems awkward and I don’t like the thought of that.

    I don’t know why I’m posting but creature I have a hard time with new things. god this process is going to be hard isn’t it…
