Newbie frustration: can we KISS more?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/rust

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • argh

    Rust derive-based argument parsing optimized for code size

    Typically programs are configured through a config object. People like to use things like clap, structopt, or argh for passing in arguments through the CLI https://github.com/google/argh. You can also use the env! macro for embedding values in at compile time, or by going through the std::env::var infrastructure for runtime env vars.

  • rust

    Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

    For sure! Actually, it has been suggested to be to the standard library. Right now, it's available as the experimental feature once_cell.

  • 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.

  • rfcs

    RFCs for changes to Rust

    You may be pleased to learn that this is in the works as std::lazy::SyncLazy -- currently feature gated because it's unstable behind RFC 2788.

  • Rouille, Rust web server middleware

    Web framework in Rust (by tomaka)

    Try rouille. It's a threaded web server (no async).

  • rust-prehistory

    historical archive of rust pre-publication development

    By that metric, you should claim that Rust is 15 years old, because Graydon started it July 23rd, 2006 as a personal project.

  • actix-web

    Actix Web is a powerful, pragmatic, and extremely fast web framework for Rust.

    Why not use something like actix-web that is more "complete"?

  • hello-actix

    Hello, actix!

    I've been messing around learning web dev in rust recently, feel free to check out my hello-actix repo for some guidance. The most complete example there is the sqlite project.

  • 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.

  • Rocket

    A web framework for Rust.

    Maybe you would like using rocket, which is following a more batteries included approach.

  • parking_lot

    Compact and efficient synchronization primitives for Rust. Also provides an API for creating custom synchronization primitives. (by faern)

    parking_lot is being considered for replacing the mutexes in std. Last I checked the libs team did a review of its internals and left some feedback for the implementor to address before it could be considered further: https://github.com/faern/parking_lot/pull/1

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
