Is Rust really only good for larger-scale projects?

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
  • rust-headless-chrome

    A high-level API to control headless Chrome or Chromium over the DevTools Protocol. It is the Rust equivalent of Puppeteer, a Node library maintained by the Chrome DevTools team.

  • Pipenv

    Python Development Workflow for Humans.

    Pipenv helps a lot there. It provides a fairly Cargo-like experience.

  • 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.

  • validator

    Simple validation for Rust structs (by Keats)

    ...and that's before you get to how "best in class" some of the libraries are, like StructOpt for argument parsing, Serde for JSON/TOML/etc., the built-in include_str! and include_bytes! for embedding default versions of user-editable resources in the binary so you can --write-conf, etc. (Try Figment and validator for your tools' configuration schema.)

  • zeal

    Offline documentation browser inspired by Dash

    ...but then I'm one of those people who uses things like Zeal, not just for the convenience, but because I'm ideologically against making "is my DSL up?" more of a single point of failure than it already is and I don't like stuff that gives the impression its authors assume the same level of Internet reliability as Silicon Valley companies.

  • Trex

    Package Manager for deno 🦕 (by crewdevio)

    Thankfully there is a community-made package manager for Deno called trex and I definitely feel right at home with it. It's a must-have imo. Writing code is fun.

  • 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.

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.
