Rust fact vs. fiction: 5 Insights from Google's Rust journey in 2022

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on news.ycombinator.com

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • cortex-m

    Low level access to Cortex-M processors

  • I do not have as strong of feelings as your parent, but:

    1. A lot of the APIs make use of the typestate pattern, which is nice, but also very verbose, and might turn many people off.

    2. The generated API documentation for the lower level crates relies on you knowing the feel for how it generates the various APIs. It can take some time to get used to, especially if you're used to the better documentation of the broader ecosystem.

    3. A bunch of the ecosystem crates assume the "I am running one program in ring0" kind of thing, and not "I have an RTOS" sort of case. See the discussion in https://github.com/rust-embedded/cortex-m/issues/233 for example.

  • carbon-lang

    Carbon Language's main repository: documents, design, implementation, and related tools. (NOTE: Carbon Language is experimental; see README)

  • To put it even more plainly than the others: https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang#project-statu...

    > Carbon Language is currently an experimental project. There is no working compiler or toolchain. You can see the demo interpreter for Carbon on compiler-explorer.com.

  • 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.

  • rust

    Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

  • > not a struct like `Result`

    Minor nitpick, but it's an enum.

  • reitit

    A fast data-driven routing library for Clojure/Script

  • bacon

    background rust code check

  • Probably one of the biggest speed ups to your inner loop writing / running code is to use something like https://github.com/Canop/bacon/. I used a combination of the docs and GPT chats to increase my learning speed a lot.

  • 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.
