First Impressions of Rust

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/rust

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • py-spy

    Sampling profiler for Python programs

  • py-spy and ripgrep) were my gateway drugs. They're both amazing tools, and I believe there is a correlation between the quality and values of the language, and what it creates. It made me want to check it out, and I found the source code for both was readable enough to give me the idea of what they were doing. I thought both (primary) authors came across as awesome too in they way they conducted themselves, and I wanted to be part of the club.

  • ripgrep

    ripgrep recursively searches directories for a regex pattern while respecting your gitignore

  • 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.

  • flamegraph

    Easy flamegraphs for Rust projects and everything else, without Perl or pipes <3 (by flamegraph-rs)

  • I would look at cargo-bench (more standard) and cargo-flamegraph (less standard)

  • stdx

    The missing batteries of Rust

  • It's been suggested and people even tried doing that of their own volition with projects like stdx, but they withered away for lack of interest.

  • cargo-benchcmp

    A small utility to compare Rust micro-benchmarks.

  • See also either cargo-benchcmp or critcmp as appropriate.

  • critcmp

    A command line tool for comparing benchmarks run by Criterion.

  • See also either cargo-benchcmp or critcmp as appropriate.

  • chrono

    Date and time library for Rust (by chronotope)

  • https://github.com/chronotope/chrono/issues/339 for a big breaking issue I came across when using it to process some data at work. Ended up having to use python as it behaved "properly" there.

  • 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.
