What's everyone working on this week (13/2023)?
I had a DnD session this Sunday, and I am still too poor to afford dices, so I created dices, a REPL to throw dice. It supports repetition, filtering, multiplication, recall of the last throw, and more. It was a blast how fast I cobbled it together using pest as parser for the dice notation, and how fancy it look and feel thanks to terminal markdown (termimad) and rustyline. All together, a tool that feel over-finished even to a perfectionist as me, completed in two days.

What ORM do you use?
None. I find ORMs to be too restrictive when I really need to get in and optimize my queries. I wrote my own custom query builder which allows me to use mixed SQL/Rust syntax for complex dynamic queries.

What's everyone working on this week (13/2023)?
Working on a 1.0 release draft for generic-array and possibly starting on a procedural macro for an SQL DSL to replace this 900-rule abomination that chokes rust-analyzer so bad I repasted my CPU because it was pushing it so hard I became concerned.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing dices and thorn you can also consider the following projects:
rusty-pelican
generic-array - Generic array types in Rust
nomicon - The Dark Arts of Advanced and Unsafe Rust Programming
sqlx - 🧰 The Rust SQL Toolkit. An async, pure Rust SQL crate featuring compile-time checked queries without a DSL. Supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite.
