Rust-Bio
This library provides implementations of many algorithms and data structures that are useful for bioinformatics. All provided implementations are rigorously tested via continuous integration.
-
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.

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.
I learned quite a bit from exercism.org learning tracks. It is interesting seeing the examples of the other learners. There are some people that can write some very concise code.
Absolutely! It already is, e.g., https://github.com/rust-bio/rust-bio. I'm moving from the academia/nonprofit world into industry bioinformatics, and I intend to use Rust as much as possible. I've already replaced as much of my Python as possible with Rust. I feel I'm able to create larger, more complex programs with Rust because I have the compiler to keep me from making common mistakes that are so easy to make in dynamically typed languages like Perl and Python. It might take longer to write a program initially, but I've started to create a library of functions I can paste together to do things like parse a positive integer, find a bunch of files with a certain file extension, search through data for a pattern, parse CSV files, etc. Writing my latest book has provided even more common patterns I keep finding I use over and over.
For anyone passing by and doesn't know what the hell is "nomicon", they're most probably referring to the Rustonomicon, available here: https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/
This is my favorite: https://github.com/Dhghomon/easy_rust
I read the book and did the talent plan course on rust. It's a practical course where you have to a build a key value store. Link: https://github.com/pingcap/talent-plan They also provide the required content for you to build different parts of the project which also helped a lot.
