  • Joda-Time

    Joda-Time is the widely used replacement for the Java date and time classes prior to Java SE 8.

    I know, but many components that are now in the C++ standard library were previously in Boost or were heavily influenced by / inspired by Boost:

    Similar events also happened in Java 8 with the Joda time library:

    >> serde's main maintainer is also a member of the libs team, so it being moved into the standard library meaning more maintenance doesn't really make sense to me.

    I did not know that.

    I was just using serde as an example of a widely-used crate that feels essential enough to be included in the Rust standard library.

    At what point does a third-party crate become so useful that it might be considered for inclusion in the Rust standard library?

    Is there a process for adding crates to the Rust standard library?

    If so, how do such crates get nominated and approved?

  • rxv64

  • https://github.com/dancrossnyc/rxv64

    And go for practically anything outside that scope: web service, CLI tool, etc.

  • 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.
