• nannou

  31 4,214 7.5 Rust

  A Creative Coding Framework for Rust.

  

  Nannou is an open source game framework that is still in its early days. It is also more hands-on for developers, but it is still a popular game engine that is greatly in use at the moment. As of this writing, the Nannou crate has over 35,000 downloads.

• Scout APM

  Less time debugging, more time building. Scout APM allows you to find and fix performance issues with no hassle. Now with error monitoring and external services monitoring, Scout is a developer's best friend when it comes to application development.

  

• rust-bindgen

  14 2,868 8.3 Rust

  Automatically generates Rust FFI bindings to C (and some C++) libraries.

  

  However, remember Rust has interoperability with other languages, especially with C and C++. If there are no Rust libraries available for the functionality you’re looking for, you can use something like bindgen to access another library.

• crates.io

  258 2,221 9.7 Rust

  Source code for crates.io

  

  To me, Rust is a well-designed and very clean language. Though some consider Rust to have a steep learning curve, the extensive documentation and expanding crate registry can certainly help you quickly learn best practices.
