  An HTTP library for Rust (by hyperium)

  

It's what allows https://hyper.rs/ to catch "Tried to set an HTTP header after the body began streaming" at compile time. (An example I like to use because so many people have seen the PHP error for that at least once.)

  Learn Rust by writing Entirely Too Many linked lists

  

To be honest, this was a surprise to me when learning Rust. It turns out that not only are C/C++ pointer-linked data structures a pain to teach, use and manage, they really don't seem to buy me much on modern hardware. I think one could write a more general case of the intro to the famous Learning Rust With Entirely Too Many Linked Lists book, making the case that pointer-linked data structures as a whole are an anti-pattern.
