  • hubris

    A dependently typed programming language, and verification tool (by hubris-lang)

  • We also had a great chat about Hubris in the Speaker's Lounge at the event. Brian was definitely on fire about the topic!

    The one thing I wanted to point out is that there's already a "namespace collision" when you search on "Rust" and "Hubris" — a language called Hubris written in Rust:

  • 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.

  • fontdue

    The fastest font renderer in the world, written in pure rust.

  • I agree that no_std is incredible. I really want to see more crates embrace it and encapsulate their no_std logic away from their standard logic. I very often see crates that are like 95% of the way to no_std but then choose to bundle some standard only features without flagging them.

    I wrote fontdue [0] (which is very incomplete spec wise) because there just wasn't another font library that was no_std at that time. It felt like the existing libraries were in an arms race for gpu caches and bundling file loading. Like if I wanted to commit to a running on a platform I'd do the sane thing and use harfbuzz or the platform APIs.
