• astro

  2 757 0.0 Rust

  A fun safe language for rapid prototyping and high performance applications (by astrolang)

  

  Some people tried using Rust to implement programming languages, right now I do not know any bigger language with compiler written in Rust but there was an attempt with astro. Match statements make parsing in Rust pretty comfortable.

• evcxr

  77 5,636 8.0 Rust

  

  In theory you should be able to create Rust notebooks (Jupyter notebook) using evcxr so maybe some AI, data analysis, prototyping make sense if you aim for good performance in final application (protype in evcxr and use notebook as reference to implement final application in Rust for speed and safety).

• embassy

  79 5,677 9.9 Rust

  Modern embedded framework, using Rust and async.

  

  Embedded (getting examples is starting to get tiring, so here you have just a lightweight alternative for some of RTOS applications which do not have hard real time constraints)
