• Creating a perfect HashMap from string keys known in advance

  I'd point you towards BurntSushi's fst crate: https://github.com/BurntSushi/fst

• How to use mmap safely in Rust?
  6 projects | /r/rust | 4 Feb 2023

  The fst crate effectively relies on mmap for it to work right. The folks here suggesting you just use the heap might be right, but only if using the heap is actually plausible. If your dictionary is GBs big (an FST might be bigger than available memory), then copying it the heap first would be disastrous.

• rustc is unacceptably slow compiling long lists of constant slices

  Here's an example of longest prefix matching using a FST which I based my approach on: https://github.com/BurntSushi/fst/pull/104/files

• Wikit Desktop - A dictionary application using tauri GUI framework
  4 projects | /r/rust | 28 Nov 2021

  As a result, I have a plan to implement a desktop version from then and I finished today with a beta version. The desktop is based on tauri, and the dictionary index algorithm is FST (it is an awesome index algorithm).

• WordBueno.com online dictionary. Fast, no frills, mobile friendly.
  2 projects | /r/sveltejs | 28 Mar 2021

  WordBueno’s data is currently derived from Wiktionary. The backend is using Rust’s warp with fst for indexing.

  No you don't. I've written multiple programs that load things instantly off the file system via memory maps. See the fst crate[1], for example, which is designed to work with memory maps.

  Rust "works badly with memory mapped files" doesn't mean, "Rust can't use memory mapped files." It means, "it is difficult to reconcile Rust's safety story with memory maps." ripgrep for example uses memory maps because they are faster sometimes, and its safety contract[2] is a bit strained. But it works.
