If we wrote a lot of code depending on the linkme/inventory/typetag crates, are we stuck on legacy Rust versions forever? Or is there a path forward?

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

    Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

  • These crates (with around 20 million combined downloads) are no longer maintained and have stopped working correctly on new Rust versions (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/47384). If we have a codebase where rewriting all of our code is infeasible, what other options do we have? Is there a realistic world where this functionality will ever exist again?

  • 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.
