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

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale

  • rust

    Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

    The #[rustc_box] attribute is a little magical, but it's just a replacement for the old unstable box syntax; it essentially ensures that the expression inside Box::new() doesn't hit the stack first, which can easily cause a stack overflow for very large values or arrays. Instead, the array is initialized directly into the heap, skipping the stack entirely if possible.

  • nats.rs

    Rust client for NATS, the cloud native messaging system.

    I think you're referring to a message broker. I really like NATS: https://github.com/nats-io/nats.rs

  • 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.

  • Umpire

    Combat Quest of the Millennium

    The reason for this is that I'd like to use an RAII pattern to control player turns in Umpire. When the struct is initialized, it starts the player's turn, and when the struct is dropped, it ends the player's turn.

  • wasm-bindgen-serde-example

  • lxd-snapper

    LXD snapshots, automated

  • kobold

    Easy declarative web interfaces.

    https://github.com/maciejhirsz/kobold is kind of like svelte in rust. It is pretty new (announced this month?). The difficulty with that approach is the integration with rust analyzer and rustfmt. Macros don't work with formatting and rust analyzer can have difficulty with them. Frameworks like Leptos and Dioxus keep the macros isolated to the view, but for a svelte like framework you need the whole file to be a macro.

  • cross-toolchains

    Additional Dockerfiles and crosstool-ng config files to build additional toolchains.

  • 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.

  • too-many-lists

    Learn Rust by writing Entirely Too Many linked lists

    I would recommend the book Learning Rust With Entirely Too Many Linked Lists. Yes this is for linked lists, but linked lists are the simplest node based data structure and it's probably better to learn from a simpler problem first. A few key insights I can give,

  • crates.io

    The Rust package registry

    The idea behind generating a full crate is that that crate can be published independently to crates.io or an internal crate registry, so:
