Take your first steps with Rust

1. rust-ttapi

   1 2 2 3.9 Rust

   If you are interested in rust and want a very simple project to try it on:

   I made a bot library for https://turntable.fm/ in javascript -> https://github.com/alaingilbert/Turntable-API

   Then I rebuilt it in go -> https://github.com/alaingilbert/ttapi

   Then I tried to write it in rust, but the pattern isn't really good with the borrow checker, I cannot make this work -> https://github.com/alaingilbert/rust-ttapi/blob/47282b7a334d...

   So if someone can find a good pattern to use for this type of library, I would gladly want to learn.

   Pull requests are welcome, I'm also always on discord if you want to chat.

3. gccrs

   2 104 2,506 9.8 C++

   GCC Front-End for Rust

   

   Some links on the most promising effort so far, gccrs

   https://www.embecosm.com/2021/01/12/gcc-rust-how-it-can-be-a...

   https://rust-gcc.github.io/

   This is an entirely new frontend written in C++, that shares no code with rustc (the official rust compiler). It might be merged some day in GCC proper.

   But honestly, I'm more excited for rustc_codegen_gcc:

   https://github.com/antoyo/rustc_codegen_gcc

   It adds gcc as an alternative backend of the official Rust compiler. That way it is much more feasible to stay up to date as the language evolves.

   Anyway the former two don't actually work right now. The one that does work today is mrustc, or at least it works for bootstrapping rustc; it doesn't have a borrow checker though (and instead assumes the program is correct).

   (There's a fourth project, https://github.com/sapir/gcc-rust, but it seems abandoned)
