  RFCs for changes to Rust

  

  Box is still sorta special due to its complicated history and its place in the language as the standard owned pointer type. It used to exist as a special built-in pointer type, ~T, but was converted into a library type before 1.0 to make it easier to document its semantics and allow for pluggable allocators: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0059-remove-tilde.md

• ripgrep

  348 44,747 9.3 Rust

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

  I've heard, though haven't confirmed myself, that ripgrep is regularly held up as an example of excellent Rust code in a popular and excellent project.

• 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.

  

• sqlx

  144 11,678 9.2 Rust

  🧰 The Rust SQL Toolkit. An async, pure Rust SQL crate featuring compile-time checked queries without a DSL. Supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite. (by launchbadge)

  

  I personally like sqlx, but there's a few options depending on what style of access you want to use.

• axum

  150 16,000 9.3 Rust

  Ergonomic and modular web framework built with Tokio, Tower, and Hyper

  

  Here is a great one: https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum

• criterion.rs

  30 4,136 6.7 Rust

  Statistics-driven benchmarking library for Rust

  Are you using criterion? If your benchmarks are particularly noisy, you can increase its sample size to get more statistically sound results.

• mexrust

  1 0 3.6 Rust

  Example of interfacing with MATLAB / Octave using rust

  I also managed to find this by searching on GitHub: https://github.com/kantorset/mexrust

• book

  626 14,161 6.9 Rust

  The Rust Programming Language

  

  I would recommend the book first, which tries to make sure it explains everything new that it talks about.

• 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.

  

• PyO3

  147 10,947 9.8 Rust

  Rust bindings for the Python interpreter

  

  Just as an aside first: you might want to look at pyo3. py03 is a library that lets you run python from rust or rust from python. If you already have working python components, or you just have specific systems you want to rewrite in rust, this could save you some time.

• wgpu

  194 10,846 9.9 Rust

  Cross-platform, safe, pure-rust graphics api.

  

  Past that, for rust, I'd recommend something based on wpgu. This is the gold standard of renderers in rust. While wgpu very low level (and you could use it directly if you want), it has a large number of downstream crates.

• bevy

  572 32,060 9.9 Rust

  A refreshingly simple data-driven game engine built in Rust

  

  I'd recommend specifically the same crate as the other comment: Bevy.
