Tokio on the other hand is the library whose maintainer decided to download a binary blob during build: https://github.com/tokio-rs/prost/issues/562 https://github.com/tokio-rs/prost/issues/575
Good luck catching such issues across dozens of crates.

:mount_fuji: A voxel world built with JS/TS/RS. (formerly mc.js) (maybe mine.ts? or even mine.rs?)

buffdb
Embedded storage built for multiplexing. Smart machines don't need to read JSON, they only need protocol buffers. The world's first MODMS (Machine-Oriented Database Management System), built to support RocksDB, SQLite, and DuckDB as backends.
I guess they mean number of frontends times number of backends? https://github.com/buffdb/buffdb/issues/19
