  • rfcs

    RFCs for changes to Rust

    • In terms of a newtype mechanism that will also derive the traits of the original type, I believe this is the tracking RFC: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/issues/261 It's an issue that I think virtually everybody wants, but it seems to be difficult to implement (for reasons that I actually don't understand).

  • 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.
