Experienced C++ users: what do you like about Rust? How would you sell it to other C++ users?

• cargo-binstall

  24 1,304 9.5 Rust

  Binary installation for rust projects

  

I have to manually split cargo-binstall into multiple crates using workspace to improve compilation time, but even so the single core performance still dominates the total compilation time.

• Protobuf

  175 63,786 10.0 C++

  Protocol Buffers - Google's data interchange format

  

Dependencies are libraries which are shared between dependencies. For an example - when compiling protobuf - there is a third_party directory which includes external dependencies (https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/tree/main/third_party). Reusing those dependencies in my code can be a pain, especially if a I need to use a slightly different version and the projects are embedded by source.

• InfluxDB

• rfcs

  666 5,713 9.8 Markdown

  RFCs for changes to Rust

  

There are discussions and efforts in that sphere, like the Ferrocene Language Specification, and Mara Bos's Do we need a "Rust Standard"? and RFC: Start working on a Rust specification, but it's also important to recognize that:

• crater

  23 618 7.8 Rust

  Run experiments across parts of the Rust ecosystem! (by rust-lang)

  

https://github.com/rust-lang/crater is the bot they use to test proposed compiler/stdlib changes against slices of the crates.io library up to and including "all of it".
