Rust on M1 What experience?

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
  • cargo-zigbuild

    Compile Cargo project with zig as linker

  • Once tool I will recommend is cargo zigbuild, for when you inevitably need to cross compile. Makes it a breeze.

  • probe-rs

    A debugging toolset and library for debugging embedded ARM and RISC-V targets on a separate host

  • Ryzen 3700X, 3200Mhz DDR4 tower builds http://probe.rs in 1m47s with fans fully spinning. M1 Pro: zero noise, 1m21s. Ryzen 3950X is on par with the M1 Pro. Actual speed difference will very much depend on your actual workload. Compiling for aarch64 apparently is more efficient than for amd64. Which is why compiling for you locally gives much more speed benefit than some generic benchmarks would indicate :) Also, you cannot forget that I can easily work for 10hrs on my MBP M1 Pro with rust-analyzer and frequent compiles running. You can forget that with any other suggested "on par" notebook. They will drain your battery instantly. Also, with the same thermal mass, other laptop builds will go into throttling much faster, which will lead to slower effective speed. XPS laptops and old macbooks know this issue very well :)

  • 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.

  • Visual Studio Code

    Visual Studio Code

  • And the Microsoft IDE is OSS: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode . 20 years ago I would've bet on WWIII before Microsoft made a product OSS.
