softbuffer
Softbuffer integrates with the raw-window-handle crate to allow writing to a window in a cross-platform way while using the very high quality dedicated window management libraries that are available in the Rust ecosystem. (by rust-windowing)

How do rust gui frameworks avoid rerendering?
On a more recent machine, that same (well, more primitive) app with pixels or softbuffer struggled beyond acceptable. But was definitely poorly written.

Minimal 2D library for games? I'm struggling a bit to settle on one to learn.
I'm using winit and softbuffer for my CurrentProject™.

Which OpenGL crate should I use?
Another annoyance is that it's not possible to have flicker-free resizing with wgpu without completely killing the performance. OTOH, softbuffer resizing never flickers.

What 2D graphics library would you most recommend?
Why not minifb or softbuffer (which lets you use winit)?

Rust's Option and Result. In Python.
machine learning, neural networks, image processing, cryptography (though it is getting better), font shaping/rendering (though it is getting better), CPU/software rendering (though it is getting better)

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here! (24/2022)!
I have decided that wgpu is not worth it, and gone to softbuffer, which does not stretch, and works a whole lot better. Downside: no GPU and no scaling support.

Migrating a JavaScript frontend to Leptos, a Rust framework
So, be sure to double-check your critical libraries and be sure their alternatives exist in the Rust ecosystem. There’s a good chance the crates you need are available in Rust's crates.io repository.

Learning Rust: A clean start
The previous section was very simple, this section is also very simple but introduces us to cargo which is Rust's package manager, as a JS dev my mind goes straight to NPM.

#2 Rust - Cargo Package Manager
Now, there has to be a place where all these packages come from. Similar to npmjs registry, where all node packages are registered, stored and retrieved, Rust also has something called crates.io where many helpful packages and dependencies are registered.

Underestimating rust for my Project.
The most thrilling aspect has been the joy of writing the backend. It's like every struct, enum, and method in Rust forms this interconnected Multiverse of code , which you can see in crates.io which is best Documentation experience I Ever Had.

Cargo has never frustrated me like npm or pip has. Does Cargo ever get frustrating? Does anyone ever find themselves in dependency hell?
Vendoring your packages was very tedious to even remotely get to work with Cargo. I spent a very long time getting Cargo to work together with cargo-local-registry. We vendor crates from crates.io and a custom internal registry.

How did I need to know about feature rwh_05 for winit?
So this is my question: Which way was the right to find it out? There is no info about this feature on crates.io. I also have no clue what exactly it does and why it is named rwh_05.

15,000 Go Module Repositories on GitHub Vulnerable to Repojacking Attack
Rust does it so much better with https://crates.io . I don't know why Go can't (or won't) do something similar.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing softbuffer and crates.io you can also consider the following projects:
winit - Window handling library in pure Rust
docs.rs - crates.io documentation generator
rustshed - Rust types in Python. https://justforfunnoreally.dev/
