Google will provide fundings for rewriting popular open source projects in Rust

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/rust

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • mrustc

    Alternative rust compiler (re-implementation)

  • Weren't there like 21 more versions after 1.29? And according to its own README.md, mrustc doesn't support anything but x86_64, although that information is probably outdated since dev did say aarch64 kinda works in https://github.com/thepowersgang/mrustc/issues/39#issuecomment-685738622

  • Caddy

    Fast and extensible multi-platform HTTP/1-2-3 web server with automatic HTTPS

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • foundation.rust-lang.org

    website for Rust Foundation

  • Google is part of the new "Rust Foundation" and will be contributing a lot financially to it, but they are not alone. https://foundation.rust-lang.org/

  • rustc_codegen_gcc

    libgccjit AOT codegen for rustc (by antoyo)

  • https://github.com/antoyo/rustc_codegen_gcc which makes the existing rustc emit GCC IR instead of LLVM IR is far more promising.

  • rustls

    A modern TLS library in Rust

  • https://github.com/ctz/rustls/blob/main/audit/TLS-01-report.pdf page 11 for the conclusion

  • ponyc

    Pony is an open-source, actor-model, capabilities-secure, high performance programming language

  • Pony is memory and type safe

  • gccrs

    GCC Front-End for Rust

  • https://github.com/Rust-GCC/gccrs/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions#why-not-use-mrustc, in other words, mrustc is too far behind and it's better to use full GCC or LLVM toolchain in projects with mixed languagess.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
