  • sv-parser

    SystemVerilog parser library fully compliant with IEEE 1800-2017

  • I'm looking for help improving the compile time of this crate: https://github.com/dalance/sv-parser

  • I'm also including the git repository in case someone is interested and my question is (surely) lacking in detail. https://gitlab.com/emreiyican/ipfix_exporter

  • wasm-bindgen

    Facilitating high-level interactions between Wasm modules and JavaScript

  • Based on your target projects of front-end web apps, I'd recommend you learn something that compiles to javascript. In no particular order: I'd recommend either Typescript, Kotlin, or Javascript. Without getting too far into technical details, Javascript is the main language that is capable of running inside your browser. There are libraries for manipulating the browser DOM using WASM/rust, which would allow you to write your webpage fully in rust. However, none of them are truly beginner friendly or mature enough for me to endorse. Many of them (ex: wasm-bindgen) also require you to know a base amount of javascript in order to form the bridge between rust code and the browser. Just as a note, this isn't a Rust specific issue. You can't write Rust webpages for the same reason you can't really write Python webpages, or C# webpages: browsers only run javascript (or more recently wasm).

  • gitoxide

    An idiomatic, lean, fast & safe pure Rust implementation of Git

  • I've found git-odb, part of gitoxide, which seems to be their object database mechanism, but I honestly can't tell if this would allow me to do something like what I've described.

  • Rustup

    The Rust toolchain installer

  • 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.

  • rfcs

    RFCs for changes to Rust

  • The rfc for this is quite interesting: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/1216-bang-type.md
