    A modern formatting library

  • Yes, mentioned in the features here: https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt

  • staticvec

    Implements a fixed-capacity stack-allocated Vec alternative backed by an array, using const generics.

  • The lack of decltype-esque functionality has consequences that are far-reaching enough to be worthy of more than a throwaway mention, IMO. See this ongoing issue for a crate of mine, for example.

  • 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.
