Your first Rust project: How bad was the first working version in the context of what you know about the language today? If given the ability to change those early days of learning Rust, what changes would you make?

• winlamb

  14 319 4.6 C++

  A lightweight modern C++11 library for Win32 API, using lambdas to handle Windows messages.

Given my C++ Win32 background, the very first thing I tried was to write a native Win32 GUI app in Rust. It later became the WinSafe crate, which is strikingly similar to WinLamb C++ lib. The Rust experience was awesome. The correctness of the type system was something I really appreciated, things C++ cannot give you.

• winsafe

  41 439 9.4 Rust

  Windows API and GUI in safe, idiomatic Rust.
