How useful is Rust for quick prototyping++?

• komorebi

  97 6,605 9.4 Rust

  A tiling window manager for Windows 🍉

Thanks for sharing this! When I have some time I think I'd like to try and make a little config GUI for komorebi using WinSafe.

• iced

  165 22,767 9.9 Rust

  A cross-platform GUI library for Rust, inspired by Elm

  

2- I used iced and it's nice and generally easy but the GUI ecology in rust is still in development.

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com sponsored

  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.

  

• clap-rs

  154 13,288 9.6 Rust

  A full featured, fast Command Line Argument Parser for Rust

  

3- There are great lib for command line tools, from simple to fancy. clap is one of the most used but quite fancy.

• winsafe

  41 439 9.4 Rust

  Windows API and GUI in safe, idiomatic Rust.

As the author of WinSafe, I can confirm this. It took me about one year to figure out the optimal architectural model, and it gave me a hard time.

• yatta

  10 141 6.5 Rust

  Discontinued A tiling window manager for Windows 10 based on binary space partitioning

I used Rust to prototype a new window manager in public and I found it very productive, easy to iterate on and make large changes without worrying about breaking anything.

• winsafe-examples

  16 57 5.4 Rust

  Examples of native Windows applications written in Rust with WinSafe.

The easy path is just to build your structs normally, letting the burden of Rc/Arcing everything to the user. My first design was like this. Once I decided to bury this stuff inside the library, then my headaches began. But the API ends up being very ergonomic.
