Voila
Voila is a domain-specific language launched through CLI tool for operating with files and directories in massive amounts in a fast & reliable way. (by Alonely0)
Rust-Bio
This library provides implementations of many algorithms and data structures that are useful for bioinformatics. All provided implementations are rigorously tested via continuous integration. (by rust-bio)

How to pass data from build script to binary crate?
My lazy solution on https://github.com/Alonely0/Voila compilation was to format-debug it at compile time, pass it as env var and parse it at runtime.

Are there any big projects written in Rust without any use of unsafe code?
Voila. It is a domain-specific-language for interacting with large collections of files.
- [media] Czkawka 3.3.0 released to clean your similar pictures, duplicated data, broken files etc.
- FileClassed, a CLI efficient file organizer, written in rust

What's everyone working on this week (41/2021)?
A compiler for my domain-specific language (right now it's interpreted) https://github.com/Alonely0/Voila

(New Discussion) What are you working on right now?
I'm working on a rust library for using the new syscall memfd_secret, and also in voila, a domain-specific language for operating with insane quantities of files and directories.

[realease] gzp - multi-threaded compression library v0.4.0 now on rayon
i added the compression functions, and they work like a charm! https://github.com/Alonely0/Voila/releases/tag/1.3.0

What do you do when you can’t sleep?
i like coding, rust my last project is Voila. you can check my profile here

Is it possible to write anything using 100% safe Rust?
yup, check what i made with 100% safe rust (the first line in main.rs literally makes impossible to use unsafe rust) https://github.com/Alonely0/Voila

bioinformatic libraries and zig?
Does anyone know of zig native libraries for bioinformatics (here is a Rust example https://rust-bio.github.io/ )? It seems as though one could pull in a lot of bioinformatics C libraries such as done with https://github.com/brentp/hts-zig.

What are your top 3-5 programming languages and why?
I would start with the book and then rust-bio library. Rust is a pretty low level language compared to R/Python. It’s an especially good fit for writing efficient tools that make use of the kinds of algorithms / data structures that are implemented in rust-bio.

I have to admit. The free code camp course is a bit more sparing than I would have preferred. How did everyone learn Rust?
Absolutely! It already is, e.g., https://github.com/rust-bio/rust-bio. I'm moving from the academia/nonprofit world into industry bioinformatics, and I intend to use Rust as much as possible. I've already replaced as much of my Python as possible with Rust. I feel I'm able to create larger, more complex programs with Rust because I have the compiler to keep me from making common mistakes that are so easy to make in dynamically typed languages like Perl and Python. It might take longer to write a program initially, but I've started to create a library of functions I can paste together to do things like parse a positive integer, find a bunch of files with a certain file extension, search through data for a pattern, parse CSV files, etc. Writing my latest book has provided even more common patterns I keep finding I use over and over.

Is learning Rust and systems programming through the books Rust in Action and Crafting Interpreters a good idea?
I think there is huge potential for Rust in bioinformatics, and there are already some great projects like https://rust-bio.github.io/. It seems industry is also hiring for these skills. This Nature article is a little old, but also covers why people in the field are looking for greater safety and performance. It's relatively easy to write a Python program to do bio stuff, but it's also very easy to get lots of things wrong or for the resulting program to be slow and/or impossible to extend and maintain. In the long run, I think it makes sense to write in Rust. Perl was king in biofx when I started, and I would not have predicted it being displaced by Python, so there's good reason to believe that Python may one day be eclipsed by Rust.

How can one make Rust excel in the Sciences
So generally stuff in this maths/numerical space. The term is a bit deceptive because it rarely means domain-specific science libraries like rust-bio even thought that might be what you think when you hear "scientific computing".
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Voila and Rust-Bio you can also consider the following projects:
tio - CLI tool for interacting with the IOTA Tangle, written in Rust 🦀
dash - Data Apps & Dashboards for Python. No JavaScript Required.
exa - A modern replacement for ‘ls’.
kanidm - Kanidm: A simple, secure and fast identity management platform
walkdir - Rust library for walking directories recursively.
clickhouse-rs - Asynchronous ClickHouse client library for Rust programming language.
sauce - A tool to help manage context/project specific shell-things like environment variables.
GeoRust - Geospatial primitives and algorithms for Rust
mcpp - Minecraft server written in C++
Rhai - Rhai - An embedded scripting language for Rust.
FileClassed - A simple batch file classer
cycle - Modern and safe symbolic mathematics
