Best format for high-performance Serde?
I've been enjoying postcard as a lightweight efficient binary serialization.

Ractor: not just another actor framework
That said, postcard is not a self describing format (so everyone needs the same schema, no changes allowed), but I do have a tracking issue open for ways to handle this in the future.

Are there any serialization crates that do Varint encoding without Zigzag encoding?
For example, look at the Postcard serializer for inspiration.

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here! (51/2022)!
Serde should be no_std, I have used it embedded with crates such as postcard. You can see how postcard disables default features of serde here : https://github.com/jamesmunns/postcard/blob/main/Cargo.toml

jemi: a compact JSON serializer for embedded systems
Another option that may work for some is SerDe on rust. You just write a struct with the fields you want #[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)] above it, and if codegens the functions to deserialize that struct from JSON and serialize it back. Example looks like this https://docs.rs/serde_json/latest/serde_json/#creating-json-by-serializing-data-structures (but you have to use serde-json-core if you don’t have an allocator). Can also easily reserialize to something small like postcard that’s meant for embedded storage.

Karmem: A fast binary serialization format faster than Google Flatbuffers
https://github.com/jamesmunns/postcard
postcard seems like it would be particularly strong for the wasm use case as it produces small messages that are light in memory.

NANOVOID Devlog #1: Lua Scripting
I'd say to use either https://macroquad.rs/ or http://ggez.rs/, they're both basically "all that you need for 2d". I've used macroquad extensively, but that was mainly because ggez was undergoing a big rewrite to wgpu which is now complete with 0.8.

Embedding GGEZ into GTK-RS
Hi guys, Is there a guide on how to implement renderers/frameworks such as GGEZ?

ggez also looks pretty straightforward and simple to get graphics moving around quick and easy.

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (8/2023)!
https://github.com/ggez/ggez/issues/1158 For this is it as simple as changing the methods to take &Image, .clone() it inside and use that or is cloning missing the point of the change?

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here! (51/2022)!
Sounds like https://ggez.rs/.
