genemichaels VS abomonation

Python and JavaScript have similarly good formatters (as long as your idiot colleagues don't insist on using yapf instead of Black, despite yapf producing non-deterministic output!). In fact I would say Rust is probably behind Prettier in terms of auto formatting. The rustfmt output is less pretty (subjective I know), the devs have made several strange decisions and it seems to be semi-abandoned (maybe partly because the devs were ... shall we say not as friendly and welcoming as the Rust community likes to bleat on about).

There are a couple of alternative formatters:

There are alternatives to rustfmt: Prettier Rust and genemichaels

Gene Michaels, code formatter

I think we should all take inspiration from Gene Michaels and just start naming crates after random people.

Abomonation - "A mortifying serialization library for Rust"

Is this a feature of serde? This open feature request suggests it doesn't exist yet. Serde tries to achieve zero-copy deserialization, not zero-allocation deserialization. If you are after extreme speed, another serialization library in Rust to consider is Abomonation, which serializes and deserializes by just copying memory directly (which is highly unsafe and fragile, but still apparently works in practice).

What you describe is truly an https://github.com/TimelyDataflow/abomonation
