Have you ever started a project in Rust but switched to a different language? If so, why?

• git-repo-language-trends

  1 2 0.0 Python

  Analyze programming language usage over time in a git repository and produce a graphical or textual representation of the result.

I originally wrote https://github.com/Enselic/git-repo-language-trends in Rust but had to switch to Python due to the immature plotting library ecosystem in Rust, at the cost of 7 times slower performance.

• rust-esp32-std-demo

  16 767 6.8 Rust

  Rust on ESP32 STD demo app. A demo STD binary crate for the ESP32[XX] and ESP-IDF, which connects to WiFi, Ethernet, drives a small HTTP server and draws on a LED screen.

I don't know if the ESP experience was recent, but I'd like to mention https://github.com/ivmarkov/rust-esp32-std-demo

• 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.

  

• shiratsu

  2 5 0.0 Rust

  Second generation aggregator for shiragame

  

Not quite the same scenario but I'm rewriting a parser written with nom into a C# library with Pidgin. The Rust version was written for use within another CLI tool and nom made writing parsers really easy but I need to be able to consume the same features in a larger C# project and it was easier to rewrite than to wrangle the Rust API into #[repr(C)].

• bunkai

  1 1 0.0 C#

  Parser for No-Intro, TOSEC, and GoodTools (by SnowflakePowered)

• rustpad

  23 3,046 0.0 Rust

  Efficient and minimal collaborative code editor, self-hosted, no database required

Just adding an example to the other side, I wrote https://rustpad.io/ in Rust, which is a collaborative text editor that uses WebSockets and resolves edit conflicts in real time using an operational transformation algorithm. It's a fairly complex bit of logic. But I actually thought Rust was the best language for this application because of performance, data race-safety, Serde, and the borrow checker. (My second choice would have been Go with stress tests run under `the -race flag.)

• panini

  1 6 0.0 Rust

  A general-purpose parser framework in Rust.

• llvm-project

  10 217 0.0 C++

  Fork of LLVM with Xtensa specific patches. To be upstreamed. (by espressif)
