  • rust

    Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

    • Well, it used to be advertised like that, but nowadays the focus has shifted quite a bit. If you go to rust-lang.org, the slogan you will see is:

  • cargo-script

    Cargo script subcommand

  • 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.

  • rust-script

    Run Rust files and expressions as scripts without any setup or compilation step.

    • That may have been more of the originator of the idea, but what I believe I had used was rust-script, looking into it more. That one isn't maintained.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
