What are some common verbose code patterns in rust and unique ways to reduce the said verbosity?
Take a look at the strum crate. https://crates.io/crates/strum

Published my first Crate today to map Environment Variables to Enums
I would be use something like https://github.com/Peternator7/strum if I need map string to enum and serde is not the option.
-
Two-way alternative to enum_kinds crate?
Looks like proper support for this in strum has been proposed.
-
Best way of associating enums with values?
This crate can generate an iterator for you using a macro https://github.com/Peternator7/strum

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (4/2023)!
The strum crate is also good for removing this kind of boilerplate, and worth checking out!
-
What are some less popular but well-made crates you'd like others to know about?
strum is among my favorite crates to recommend. Favorites of this crate include EnumProperty and EnumIter

What's everyone working on this week (45/2022)?
I released my first crate that provides a derive macro to easily obtain a name of a current variant in an enum as a string. I did it mostly to learn about procedural macros and the process of releasing a crate. I then found out there is strum which does this and much more. Nonetheless, I learned a lot and I found couple of nice tools like ```cargo-release and git-cliff.

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here! (33/2022)!
I used https://crates.io/crates/strum to iterate over the enum variants, otherwise you'd have to hardcode the list of variants and wouldn't gain anything.

Questions about enums
If you chose to go with the "derive a trait" route the strum crate might be what you're looking for. It lets you use derive to add information about variant count, discriminants or even iterators over variants to an enum.

Match enum with String
You might want something like strum
enum-map
-
(Tip of my fingers) Library with a macro to create an enum from a range
I know I could write (and have written) this enum myself by hand. I don't want to use a newtype around u8 or something like that because I want the static guarantees of an enum — plus I'm using EnumMap to create statically-allocated maps with enum keys, so I'm hoping whatever this library was will play nicely with it.
-
Is std::collections::HashMap optimized for enums?
What you might want is enum-map instead.
-
What's your favourite under-rated Rust crate and why?
enum_map is great for dense maps where the keys are the variants of a discriminant-only enum.
What are some alternatives?
serde-plain - A serde serializer that serializes a subset of types into plain strings
parse-size - Parse byte size into integer accurately.
enum-iterator - Tools to iterate over all values of a type
structopt - Parse command line arguments by defining a struct.
rust-djangohashers - A Rust port of the password primitives used in Django Project.
sonyflake-rs - 🃏 A distributed unique ID generator inspired by Twitter's Snowflake.
actix-web-static-files - actix-web static files as resources support
goblin - An impish, cross-platform binary parsing crate, written in Rust
NumToA - An efficient method of heaplessly converting numbers into their string representations, storing the representation within a reusable byte array.
redbpf - Rust library for building and running BPF/eBPF modules
