Is there any part of the Standard Library that really impresses you?

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

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

    Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

  • That article is a few years old though if you try to follow any real links, if you want to read the current code it is in the alloc crate and is of course wonderfully commented.

  • rfcs

    RFCs for changes to Rust

  • Rust did at one time have a green-threading model which required a rather heavyweight runtime; the background on the green-threading model and the reasons it were removed are outlined in RFC 230.

  • 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.

  • flume

    A safe and fast multi-producer, multi-consumer channel. (by zesterer)

  • I also like flume, it has impressive performance (although not the best). More importantly, it's written only with safe rust. https://github.com/zesterer/flume

  • stdx

    The missing batteries of Rust

  • brson had a repository called https://github.com/brson/stdx and it's a pity it isn't maintained anymore: some of them are in disuse now (for example, instead of lazy_static prefer stdlib's Lazy, or better yet, you don't need them if you just want to initialize a mutex or something; also error-chain) and the list could use some maintenance

  • postfix-macros

    Postfix macros on stable Rust, today.

  • There is a macro that enables postfix macros (it also links to an RFC on the subject): https://github.com/est31/postfix-macros

  • 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.
