    The Rust Programming Language

    If you choose to learn Rust, then I'd strongly recommend reading the first ~15 chapters of https://doc.rust-lang.org/book before getting stuck in to a real project. It covers most of the things you'll likely be unfamilar as TS dev (such as what the Stack and the Heap are, and how ownership semantics work).

  3. SoundcoreManager

    Control Soundcore headphones with the power of Rust.

    I'm currently building a Tauri app (Project Link) using React/Typescript for the UI and Rust for the backend. Typescript is the perfect stepping stone before learning Rust IMO and learning Rust helps you understand the abstraction cost that you are paying with JS/TS. If you ever build a backend with JS/TS i strongly suggest you to try out Actix/Axum.

  4. slm

    Slim, Jade like template engine for node

    For templating, Maud is fast, gives compile-time well-formedness guarantees, and outputs minified HTML by default as a side-effect of it being based on Rust macros. (It's of a similar design philosophy to Slim and Haml)

  5. axum

    Ergonomic and modular web framework built with Tokio, Tower, and Hyper

    For the framework itself, I use actix-web but Axum is also popular.

  6. sea-orm

    🐚 An async & dynamic ORM for Rust

    Last I checked, authentication was weak. SeaORM is probably the most mature option if you're looking for an ORM like you'd find in another ecosystem (if you're willing to explore alternative designs, try using the underlying SQLx directly).

  7. maud

    :pencil: Compile-time HTML templates for Rust

    For templating, Maud is fast, gives compile-time well-formedness guarantees, and outputs minified HTML by default as a side-effect of it being based on Rust macros. (It's of a similar design philosophy to Slim and Haml)

  8. Haml

    HTML Abstraction Markup Language - A Markup Haiku

    For templating, Maud is fast, gives compile-time well-formedness guarantees, and outputs minified HTML by default as a side-effect of it being based on Rust macros. (It's of a similar design philosophy to Slim and Haml)

  10. actix-web

    Actix Web is a powerful, pragmatic, and extremely fast web framework for Rust.

    For the framework itself, I use actix-web but Axum is also popular.

  11. too-many-lists

    Learn Rust by writing Entirely Too Many linked lists

    ...and follow The Book with Learning Rust With Entirely Too Many Linked Lists. It really helps to solidify your understanding of how the borrow checker thinks.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
