    Parser and evaluator for Cargo's flavor of Semantic Versioning (by dtolnay)

  • smartstring

    Compact inlined strings for Rust.

  • There's some really good crates that implement SSO floating around - eg, SmartString. But I agree - its a pity they're needed. Swift built this into the core string type in the language. I think that was the right call.

  • 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.
