The Unicode Consortium announces ICU4X 1.0, its new high-performance internationalization library. It's written in Rust, with official C++ and JavaScript wrappers available.

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

  • icu4x

    Solving i18n for client-side and resource-constrained environments.

  • There's a C wrapper (as linked in a different reply); which the C++ (and WASM) APIs use. The C++ headers directly include the C headers behind a namespace, so it's kinda going "via C", but only inasmuch as we didn't want to duplicate basically the same work in C++ headers. The C and C++ APIs are header-only, you use them by linking to the icu_capi crate (more on this here)

  • packed_simd

    Portable Packed SIMD Vectors for Rust standard library

  • Oh, and the "fix" was to replace crate with pub(crate) all over the code: https://github.com/rust-lang/packed_simd/pull/344

  • 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.

  • autocxx

    Tool for safe ergonomic Rust/C++ interop driven from existing C++ headers

  • Rust and C++ are not directly interoperable, but you can try to use some fancy libraries if your C++ codebase is simple. Google is taking on this gargantuan task with autocxx. I believe it is related to their exploration efforts to bring Rust to Chrome.

  • crubit

  • autocxx is good, though crubit is aiming for direct bidirectional interop

  • rust

    Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

  • It's not about the stable compiler. The crate_visibility_modifier got removed before being stabilized. https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/53120. The feature was added as an unstable feature in the nightly compiler, and then removed.

  • Cargo

    The Rust package manager
