The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Error Stacking in Rust
Inspired by this blog post I just added an `#[implicit]` field feature to the `thiserror` crate. It makes it easy to automatically annotate errors with things like code location (per this blog post), a timestamp, or a backtrace without requiring further modifications to the thiserror crate. I'm hoping that dtolnay will consider it. You can find my PR here: https://github.com/dtolnay/thiserror/pull/402

Rust Learning Note: Exception Handling
We can utilize third-party libraries to simplify the code above. For example thiserror (https://github.com/dtolnay/thiserror) provides convenien derive macro for Error trait:
- I can't get my mind around Result, Option, or basically how control flow works in most Rust programs

Ideas for crafting CLI in Rust
thiserror crate makes it easy to do so using macros on CliError enum.

I love building a startup in Rust. I wouldn't pick it again.
Depending on your use case, thiserror and/or anyhow.

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (52/2022)!
What is the benefit of splitting a proc-macro crate into (usually) two crates, proc_macro_crate and proc_macro_crate_impl? Why not just have one crate? Does it offer any benefits to to overall compilation times? An example of this can be seen in the thiserror crate where there's a thiserror and thiserror_impl crate.

Generics can make your Go code slower
I dont think you realize how ridiculous this comment is. Youre comparing 10 lines of Go, with 200 of Rust:

Building a simple Kubernetes Controller in Rust - Part 1
Before anything, we need to add kube-rs controller runtime to our project. We will also add the "thiserror" to make it easier to generate the errors, and "futures" as a required dependency

Which async channel is best?
So this is actually better than true fairness (true fairness would lead to deadlock if a sender is forgotten). It is a pity that the there does not seem to be resources that document this design. There is this old thread where Carl provides some background, but I found it personally a bit hard to follow.

Async cancellation: a case study of pub-sub in mini-redis

Confused about how to use tokio to process a vector in parallel
You can use Streams, which are the async version of Iterators; They aren't stable yet, so you'll have to use a crate such as futures.

Async Rust in Practice: Performance, Pitfalls, Profiling
Here is the PR: https://github.com/rust-lang/futures-rs/pull/2551
Yield = wake the `waker_ref`. Avoiding the yield would be clone().wake().
That said, "poll immediately" isn't actually a thing nor was it ever a thing except in incorrect implementations.

What sort of mature, open-source libraries do you feel Rust should have but currently lacks?
Rust lacks an implementation of ReactiveX. futures/futures-signals seems to be the the ecosystem equivalent but I'm sure there'd be a lot of interest in an actual implementation.

Why isn't `rc::Weak<T>` marked `UnwindSafe`when T is `RefUnwindSafe`?
The opposite problem exists as well. Many types are actually unwind safe, but do not get the autotrait. In that case authors would have to manually declare them UnwindSafe. Because this is rarely done, having an API with a trait bound T: UnwindSafe is rarely viable in terms of ergonomics. It now obliges client code to wrap all calls to your API in AssertUnwindSafe which, if they use types from third party libraries, obliges them to assert this is fine. example
What are some alternatives?
When comparing thiserror and futures-rs you can also consider the following projects:
anyhow - Flexible concrete Error type built on std::error::Error
tokio - A runtime for writing reliable asynchronous applications with Rust. Provides I/O, networking, scheduling, timers, ...
color-eyre - Custom hooks for colorful human oriented error reports via panics and the eyre crate
async-std - Async version of the Rust standard library
proposal - Go Project Design Documents
carboxyl - Functional Reactive Programming library for Rust
