Shoot me straight.

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

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • winevdm

    16-bit Windows (Windows 1.x, 2.x, 3.0, 3.1, etc.) on 64-bit Windows

  • A third-party replacement based on Wine code named WineVDM exists.

  • linux

    Linux kernel source tree

  • It was moved to a sysctl temporarily because one of the WINE maintainers convinced Linus that there were real users who relied on that functionality (well, 16 bit protected mode, not real mode) while they sorted out the ESP, then again, and again. The commit history kinda tells the whole story. Intel (TM), writing insecure kernel patches since... inception.

  • 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.

  • WASI

    WebAssembly System Interface

  • There's also wasm32-wasi, is for WASI. It's what generally used outside the browser, thanks to it's standardized system APIs (implemented by the runtime, such as wasmtime)

  • rusty-dos

    A Rust skeleton for an MS-DOS program for IBM compatibles and the PC-98, including some PC-98-specific functionality

  • cosmopolitan

    build-once run-anywhere c library

  • If you really want to go down the "well actually" rabbit hole on this one, there is the "comopolitan" 0 libc-replacement which has been demonstrated to work with rust 1.

  • utils

    Utility crates used in RustCrypto

  • There's also cpufeatures which might suit your use case better (depending on exactly how you want to do it).
