What projects *didn't* you make in Rust?

• Rust-CUDA

  37 2,852 0.0 Rust

  Ecosystem of libraries and tools for writing and executing fast GPU code fully in Rust.

  

My Rust CUDA project actually started with trying to do fluid simulation on the GPU, but it turned out there was literally no good way to do it so i kind of abandoned that project altogether. Until i started experimenting with rustc codegens obviously ;)

• elm-ui

  9 1,329 0.0 Elm

  What if you never had to write CSS again?

The library elm-ui makes it easy to create a nice user interface. I am unaware of anything similar for Rust+WASM, so I would have been forced to deal with HTML and CSS.

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  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.

  

• ReShell

  1 0 0.0 Rust

  Discontinued A modern shell language built for the future :rocket: (by ClementNerma)

I recently made a full-powered shell language and interpreter using parser combinators.

• xmake

  163 8,755 10.0 Lua

  🔥 A cross-platform build utility based on Lua

  

The closest to cargo C++ build system I know of is xmake.io, has a very nice package manager, friendly syntax and even supports Rust (for projects having both C++ and Rust), it was a life changer to me.

• iced

  165 22,704 9.9 Rust

  A cross-platform GUI library for Rust, inspired by Elm

  

Have you seen iced-rs? It's inspired by Elm and compiles to the web as well.

• AoC-2021

  1 0 5.1 Rust

• advent-of-code-2021

  1 0 0.0 Rust

I made an input! helper macro that parses the input file into a Vec of whatever type I need.

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com sponsored

  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.

  

• crates.io

  660 2,796 10.0 Rust

  The Rust package registry

  

Before this project I worked for on another game that used A LOT of Rust. And basically every crate I released on crates.io was for that. (Mergui, silver_animation and silver_surf were libraries for the client side part, which got eventually turned into Godot + F# when quicksilver stopped being supported. Tealr + tealr_derive were made for the server side part.) I stopped working on it as the project was just too big for me. I've worked multiple years on it now and I'm still FAR away from a working prototype.

• yabridge

  134 2,049 7.7 C++

  A modern and transparent way to use Windows VST2, VST3 and CLAP plugins on Linux

I would have written yabridge (which lets you use Windows VST2/VST3 audio processing/generation plugins on Linux as of they were native Linux VST2/VST3 plugins) in Rust if that was in any way feasible, but that would likely have required either doing one-two years of preparation work forking rustc, LLVM and a bunch of libraries to add a Winelib target to Rust, or still writing most important bits in C++ anyways and then writing some ugly bindings and glue code on top of that.

• gdnative

  93 3,560 6.4 Rust

  Rust bindings for Godot 3

  

Anything "hobby gamedev" where I don't need more performance: I'm not going to give up the power and comfort of using Godot and adding something GDNative-based like godot-rust significantly complicates the cross-platform builds I can do and kills off some like MacOS where I don't own a Mac and, thus, don't own a license to use the SDK.

• miniserve

  51 5,575 9.1 Rust

  🌟 For when you really just want to serve some files over HTTP right now!

Anything web that's more than a "microservice with an HTML API": ...like my "miniserve, but for image galleries" and "remote for a few X10 devices" apps because Rust doesn't have Django's ecosystem.

• Godot

  2,744 82,940 10.0 C++

  Godot Engine – Multi-platform 2D and 3D game engine

• Seed

  36 3,786 4.2 Rust

  A Rust framework for creating web apps

  

Others might have mentioned before but look at https://seed-rs.org for the Rust+WASM part.

• quick-lint-js

  17 1,477 9.9 C++

  quick-lint-js finds bugs in JavaScript programs

  

I considered Rust and C for quick-lint-js (JavaScript code checker), but I chose C++ instead. (Full rationale documented here.)

• rust-gpu

  82 6,930 8.2 Rust

  🐉 Making Rust a first-class language and ecosystem for GPU shaders 🚧

  

• bl3_save_edit

  17 267 0.0 Rust

  Borderlands 3 Save/Profile Editor for Windows/MacOS and Linux!

It's not impossible to make something that looks good. I think iced is the most promising at the moment, I wrote a tool in it recently: https://github.com/ZakisM/bl3_save_edit.

• gyro

  7 575 2.9 Zig

  Discontinued A Zig package manager with an index, build runner, and build dependencies.

I'm not a Zig user, so the above is just my understanding/interpretation of the comment. FWIW a cursory googling for Zig package manager did confirm that there are several (e.g. gyro, zigmod) without an official one.

• zigmod

  6 707 7.8 Zig

  📦 A package manager for the Zig programming language.
