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)
sqlx
🧰 The Rust SQL Toolkit. An async, pure Rust SQL crate featuring compile-time checked queries without a DSL. Supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite. (by launchbadge)

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.

Rust as a general application language
What exactly are you missing? I haven't really written "boring corporate backend stuff" in a few years but something like sqlx provides everything I've ever needed there.

SQLX MSSQL Connection String Problem
The current (well, removed) MSSQL sqlx driver also doesn't support encrypted connections (https://github.com/launchbadge/sqlx/issues/1552), so it might work locally on an unnamed instance but not over the network until they add in the newer driver (which will be closed source but for an OSS project you should be able to request a free license I think)

Introducing SQLPage : write websites entirely in SQL
I'm considering making my own wrapper over lower-level database drivers. There are a lot of features in sqlx that I don't need, and the latest version seems to have removed useful data structures that SQLPage is using. It also removed support for SQL Server.
- SQLx 0.7 released! Offline mode usability improvements, performance fixes and major upgrades across the board!

MariaDB / SQLx - "Unknown Authentication Plugin"
add Ed25519 to AuthPlugin enum on https://github.com/launchbadge/sqlx/blob/061fdcabd72896d9bc3abb4ea4af6712a04bc0a8/sqlx-core/src/mysql/connection/auth.rs and implement them using these crates:
