Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (5/2023)!
We've built kanin for our use at Issuu. It's working very well for our servers! We are maintaining it, though it fulfills most of our own requirements at the moment. Feel free to post issues/PRs. Kanin only takes care of the server side though.

To people with real Rusty jobs: How did you land it? What exactly do you do at your job? How proficient are you? What skills besides Rust? How long did it take?
We have a microservice architecture using AMQP. Because we use microservices, it's been quite easy to introduce Rust and use it in new services. We've made an internal code template as well as some internal crates. We recently made our AMQP server open source as well.

create a &Struct for a &Value
Yes, that's possible if you use repr(transparent). And as always David Tolnay has a crate for that: https://github.com/dtolnay/ref-cast

When Rust hurts
Actually you can, as long as the newtype struct has #[repr(transparent)]. The ref-cast crate makes it easy to do this without having to (directly) use unsafe code!

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (5/2023)!
You can add #[repr(transparent)] and then call transmute(), or use https://github.com/dtolnay/ref-cast (which is exactly what it does anyway, providing a safe interface).
What are some alternatives?
When comparing kanin and ref-cast you can also consider the following projects:
jlox-rs - Following along the first (Java) part of https://craftinginterpreters.com/, but with Rust, because reasons.
rust-bindgen - Automatically generates Rust FFI bindings to C (and some C++) libraries.
auto-future - A way to easily build structs that can be turned into futures
