Why does the "crate" nomenclature include both "binary" and "library"?

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
  • cargo-watch

    Watches over your Cargo project's source.

  • Note that cargo, by virtue of being a package manager for a programming language, is primarily going to be dealing with library packages. That's not because it can't manage executables (see cargo-watch for a particularly useful example), it's just that it's less common.

  • 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.
