    The Rust Playground

  • At first I was thinking about how to create a package manager website for a custom programming language, looking at crates.io and npmjs.com. But then you also want to have a "try" feature, if this package manager is for a language, so then it's like "code sandboxes" like play.rust-lang.org and the robust codesandbox.io for JS/TS.

  • crates.io

    The Rust package registry
