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.
