Project mention: A new way to note stuff you want to find easily and quickly | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-11-27
Not to mention homonyms, like the JS runtime Deno: https://deno.land/
-
swc
swc is a super-fast compiler written in rust; producing widely-supported javascript from modern standards and typescript.
Recently, I switched our dev build compiler of some of our shared packages to SWC from TypeScript (along with removing other abstractions), which, on the one hand, is great! You definitely should explore doing that.

tools
The Rome Toolchain. A linter, compiler, bundler, and more for JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML, Markdown, and CSS.
Project mention: [AskJS] Why there is so much hatred toward using Javascript on the Backend for C#/Java and others tech stack programmer ? Is it performance alone ? Do you consider yourself a full stack senior JS dev ? | reddit.com/r/javascript | 2021-11-14Again, if js is so fast, why rome (https://rome.tools/) is being rewritten to rust?

cube(`LineItems`, { sql: `SELECT * FROM public.line_items`, measures: { count: { type: `count` }, price: { sql: `price`, type: `sum` }, quantity: { sql: `quantity`, type: `sum` }, // A calculated measure that reference other measures. // See https://cube.dev/docs/schema/reference/measures#calculated-measures avgPrice: { sql: `${CUBE.price} / ${CUBE.quantity}`, type: `number` }, // A rolling window measure. // See https://cube.dev/docs/schema/reference/measures#rolling-window revenue: { sql: `price`, type: `sum`, rollingWindow: { trailing: `unbounded`, }, } }, dimensions: { id: { sql: `id`, type: `number`, primaryKey: true }, createdAt: { sql: `created_at`, type: `time` } }, dataSource: `default` });

How is Volta different from fnm?
-
Look into https://rustwasm.github.io/docs/wasm-bindgen/ which a library for rust-js bindings. From there you will land on https://rustwasm.github.io/wasm-bindgen/api/web_sys/ which is a library for binding to all APIs that browsers provide on the web".

Wasted a few hours because of this: [1]

Scout APM
Scout APM: A developer's best friend. Try free for 14-days. Scout APM uses tracing logic that ties bottlenecks to source code so you know the exact line of code causing performance issues and can get back to building a great product faster.

Project mention: Rust Is the Future of JavaScript Infrastructure | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-11-11
Author here. A few other Rust projects to note that I didn't mention in the original post I've since found:
- Boa (JS engine in Rust) – https://github.com/boa-dev/boa
- RSLint (JS/TS linter in Rust) – https://github.com/rslint/rslint
- Node version manager in Rust – https://github.com/Schniz/fnm
If you know of any other popular ones, let me know. I'm keeping a list :)

Project mention: Miller CLI – Like Awk, sed, cut, join, and sort for CSV, TSV and JSON | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-08-24
There's also rq (record query)[1] that also supports CSV and JSON but not TSV though. It's written in Rust.

Project mention: Rust Is the Future of JavaScript Infrastructure | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-11-11
I've been using NAPI-RS to bridge from Electron Rust and it's been nice - https://napi.rs/ I believe SWC uses it behind the scenes.
They just put out an alpha release that makes it way more ergonomic to write Rust functions that interop with JS, too. There's a small example of it in the README: https://github.com/napi-rs/napi-rs#taste
NAPI isn't as well-known in the JS-to-Rust bindings world (Neon [1] is the more well-known library https://neon-bindings.com/) but it seems to be gaining steam.

tangram
Tangram makes it easy for programmers to train, deploy, and monitor machine learning models.
We are using Rust for our web application and website at Tangram. You can view the source here: https://github.com/tangramdotdev/tangram/tree/main/crates/www. The website is at https://www.tangram.dev. We decided to write our own web framework because we needed server rendering and we wanted to use the builder pattern in creating components. Here is an example component for our Logo to get a sense of what this looks like: https://github.com/tangramdotdev/tangram/blob/main/crates/www/ui/logo.rs

Project mention: dprint: A pluggable and configurable code formatting platform written in Rust | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-10-18
-
I have tried figuring out what the project even was - it was in Astro. After some googling and reading I figured out.... I better not go deeper. It's some kind of a niche language, which may even be fun and great, but isn't used most of the time and isn't even finished. So even if I have learned it (which would be hard, considering no documentation), I wouldn't be able to transfer my skills as easily to another project, since chances are - it's not in Astro.

There are some legal ways around paying for ISO standards. I collected some ideas here.

Project mention: Volt - A rust-based package manager that's up to 12x faster than Yarn | reddit.com/r/rust | 2021-08-05
The best part? Volt is open source https://github.com/voltpkg/volt! If you would like to support Volt development or find the project interesting, a ⭐ would be hugely appreciated!

Some transformation overhead can be addressed by using serde-wasm-bindgen, but in my example repo I'll use it only for the input side (deserialization). On serialization a collection like HashMap or BTreeMap gets turned into an ES2015 Map, which is unfortunated as well, because they cannot be JSON stringified.

mine.js
:earth_asia: A voxel engine built with JS/TS/RS. (formerly mc.js) (maybe mine.ts? or even mine.rs?)
Project mention: How can a newbie coder build there own voxel game with THREE.js? | reddit.com/r/VoxelGameDev | 2021-08-04ThreeJS is easily my favorite library when it comes to 3D graphics. Here's what I've been working on recently. It's a multiplayer voxel open world built with ThreeJS for the frontend and Rust for the backend: https://github.com/ian13456/mine.js

wasm-learning
Building Rust functions for Node.js to take advantage of Rust's performance, WebAssembly's security and portability, and JavaScript's ease-of-use. Demo code and recipes.
Project mention: Starting to hate Tableau - any ideas for next moves? | reddit.com/r/tableau | 2021-06-29Developers: Getting started building Rust + JavaScript hybrid apps for Node.js.

Source: I'm the author of nlprule and nnsplit which are quite well used for grammatical error correction and sentence boundary detection, respectively.

I just installed Boop-GTK and the font is wrong. The app is supposed to use a monospaced font, but mine looks like this which is clearly wrong. I looked at the documentation and couldn't find anything when it came to fonts. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

livesplit-core
livesplit-core is a library that provides a lot of functionality for creating a speedrun timer.

Project mention: Matomo, an open source analytics platform, GDPR and CCPA compliant | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-01-05
It's pretty easy to make your own analytics. It's not famous, but I open-sourced mine; it's called Bast, written mostly in Rust, and it's easy to deploy it. https://github.com/kooparse/bast
