What’s everyone working on this week (including AoC, 51/2021)?

1. adventofcode

   1 718 70 7.2 Scala

   Advent of Code solutions of 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 in Scala (by sim642)

   

   New week, new Rust – and new Advent of Code riddles! So what are you folks up to? And if you want to compare your AoC solutions, this is the place to post them. Or ask your questions and compare the solutions at rust-users!

3. strop

   2 31 103 6.3 Rust

   Stochastically generates machine code

   

   Still working on strop, my stochastic machine code optimizer. Tell it which function you want, where to find inputs, and where to stick outputs, and it will output the shortest possible assembly language program that does what you specify. It also has more opportunity to optimize than a traditional compiler.

4. LibRapidRust

   3 1 9 0.0 Rust

   An optimised derivative of the LibRapid C++ library. Made with love for mathematics and computer science.

   

   Developing fast primes for LibRapid. About to pull an implementation of SPRP for u128. Actually looking at the source code of most of the number theory crates is abysmal.

5. ctrlg

   4 5 24 4.6 Rust

   Discontinued A command line context switcher, written in Rust :crab:

   Something I whipped up over the weekend: https://github.com/mrjones2014/ctrlg

   5 17 45 8.4 Python

   Configs for apps I care about (by bbkane)

   

   Ooh I'm doing this too, but with Python to add a "category" field (based mostly on description), nushell to munge the CSV into more CSVs so I can build html charts and tables with this script. in my opinion, transforming the two original CSVs (checking account and credit card history) into the html doc with all the charts is best done as this sort of pipeline so you can replace bits as you find better alternatives (for example I started with SQLite instead of nushell for the "child CSV" parts)

7. hotham

   6 8 427 5.7 Rust

   Hotham is a tool for creating incredible standalone VR games.

   

   This week I am adding that most annoying of game engine systems, GUI, to Hotham, a game engine for standalone VR devices I've been working on this year.

8. cpal

   7 14 3,768 9.2 Rust

   Low-level cross-platform audio I/O library in Rust

   

   Working on a live performance software that would let our band have live real-time practices over the internet. Top priority is minimum latency, so I'm trying to hook it up through ASIO. Not much luck yet. I've tried cpal, but I've run into numerous known random bugs (and some versions don't compile for me). At least I confirmed that I can push the audio through a TCP socket successfully.
