Hey Rustaceans! Got an easy question? Ask here (50/2021)!

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
  • safety-dance

    Auditing crates for unsafe code which can be safely replaced

  • crates.io

    The Rust package registry

  • Not really, but on crates.io you can click on "Dependents" and see how many other crates depend on it. Other stuff I look at are the number of downloads and the release history (or maybe the last commit date on GitHub) to see active development.

  • 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.

  • slotmap

    Slotmap data structure for Rust

  • You can use either slot map or slab to side step rust borrow checker. Example https://github.com/orlp/slotmap/blob/master/examples/rand_meld_heap.rs

  • stdx

    The missing batteries of Rust

  • I second u/globulemix' attitude, searching on crates.io and then looking at Downloads and also git activity (might be misleading, as some projects are simply very stable). For a lot of tasks, you might wish to take a look at stdx

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
