A language empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

from rust-lang.org

Rust by itself is a great language, but what really makes it shine are its many great crates. The ecosystem around rust is one of the best there is, and its documentation is practically unrivalled. So lets look at some of those crates!

actix-web

Actix-web is an amazing web server framework for rust. It’s modular, easy to use, intuitive and fast. It’s also what lemmy is built on! So when you use this very site, you are using something build with actix!

Bevy

Bevy is a code first game engine for rust, based on the ECS paradigm. It’s incredibly refreshing and different from most other engines. It is also unbelievably modular, in fact, just about every part of the engine cam be removed or added as you please! If you are every looking for something simple to play around, try bevy!

Tokio

The backbone of most asynchronous rust. It provides everything needed to build reliable, fast web applications!

Serde

Serde is the go-to library for serialization and deserialisation in rust. Its derive macros make it a breeze to use, and there are countless crates supporting various formats with Serde!

SQLx

SQLx is an amazingly simple sql handling crate. It is both feature rich and yet simple, and just a joy to use!

Reqwest

A neat little crate for sending http(s) requests! It’s also used in Lemmy, and just about anywhere else where someone needs to do get some thing from an http(s) endpoint!

And this is far from all! Rust is a lovely language, with an even more amazing ecosystem!

Have an amazing week, everyone!

    Okay I have to know what to do with my bangs, and I do not. They just turn into lil goofy springy ringlets, which is fine but when I was doing my hair “straighter” (by accident, brushes etc) they served to offset my face, 'cause a straight part makes my gaunt ‘n’ gay lil face look kinda long when it’s not.

    So what’s even a good way to do the hair above your forehead when it is curly af?

    just some navel gazing, annoying & stupid

    I guess it’s because I’m baby, but I’m feeling very humbled this morn that my internal concept of Gender is still changing, that I’m still thinking about it and developing how I feel about it meaningfully, and it’s been like ten fuckin years. Woah niko-wonderous

    It’s at once kinda wild to think I used to be a self-hating, shitty little imageboard browsing trans girl so long ago, but also the “me” now wouldn’t make much sense without that part of my life. Even though it’s probably not that dramatic, I feel like I am unrecognisable compared to that.

    Tons of people told me when I was a kid that I’d always be changing, and I never disbelieved it, but actually taking in how different I’ve become really underlines that. I am many phases removed from where I was. Insert tired butterfly comparison here, lmao.

    I find it very weird now to think that I used to avoid trying to even process stuff around Gender, which I did because even just thinking about it made me anxious and sad. Brainworms… nowadays I relish the opportunity when anyone lets me yap at length about whatever trans related thought I am having this day or week. It gives me life, I become nourished as a result, it rules. I feel better every time I come to a greater understanding! Being trans fuckin rules!

    thonk I wonder if most people have to think this long and this deeply about Gender. I wonder if it’s partly an autism thing, interroception and whatnot. Also nobody should let me yap early in the morning lest I say silly things!

        I mean it’s not wrong or bad to have Gender be stressful or difficult, especially if it’s early in transition. It is often stressful, it was for me.

        However you really should read the Accelerationist, it fuckin rules and should give you positive feelings wrt Gender knight-nod

    Me when I post on sunday night and the new mega rolls up on monday catgirl-huh wish we had more of the catgirl emotes…

    @[email protected] Magi actually introduced me to Jex Thoth like six or seven years ago now, yeah they fuckin rule. I still know nothing about them tbh…

    @[email protected]

    sick raincoat (I’ve been wearing in the house since I got it lmao) a pair of pants, a hat, an extremely extra fruity coat, a toy lightsaber (I think it’s Kanan’s?) a hoodie of one of my favorite sports teams and a plush toy for my kitties to wrassle

    Is this a fit?? Awesome though, love when the thrift actually has stuff lets-fucking-go

    @[email protected] Simply not hanging out with her as before is entirely valid too, I’m just way too indignant and angry honestly. I hate that we pretty much cannot ever trust cis people not to be like this… Brutal and stupid way for her to end things without even realising it…

    sorry
    self harm/si/just being unhinged

    I want to kill myself. It’s hopeless. I can’t imagine ever being happy. Why fucking live in suffering. My whole life is just suffering and trying to distract myself. That’s not good enough. All fucking night I’ve wanted to rip my leg open. Why do I continually put myself through this shit.

    We’re coming up on five years of trying to fight this shit. Five years of trying to get better. Of trying to even imagine a happy life. Of understanding what I want and can reach for. And I haven’t found anything. My brain is literally just broken. Actual dogshit.

    I will never be happy. I am not capable of doing what will make me happy.

    Fucking “survival instinct”. Such complete bullshit. I know I will never be happy, normal, I will always hate myself and be hated. So literally why can’t I bring myself to do it. Do I want to go through another embarrassing, awful five years? Just fucking, putz around hoping I figure my shit out? I don’t want to do that.

    I can’t get better. Why do I have to do it myself. I wish I’d just die in my sleep already.

    I hate being a burden. All I do anymore is go from place to place, person to person whing about how I’m in pain. Dump all my sad shit on the nearest poor fucker who has to listen to me. I’m an anchor around everyone’s neck.

    I’m such shit. I can’t do anything. I don’t even know what my problem is. Why can’t I get even basic shit together.

    The kindest thing would literally just be shoot me in my sleep. Life sucks, it’s going to keep sucking, my mental issues are going to keep tormenting me forever. This isn’t living. Literally what difference does it even make if I’m dead. Not like I’m doing anything with this “gift” of life. Fucking waste. Why am I a wasteful, unappreciative shithead. I should kill myself just for that.

    even worse self harm stuff

    I want to cut myself so bad. It’s been days of urges slowly building. I want to see blood. Feel the rush. Holy shit the rush. Honest to god better then drugs.

    To anyone wondering, yes I napped, yes I felt like this right after, yes it’s been fucking hours of this while being unable to sleep. Please make the misery stop.

      Y’know “being a burden” is not a real thing, else I’d be an even heavier “anchor” to certain people… I’m sorry you feel this way though, given you haven’t and can’t really make the progress you want wrt gender it’s not surprising to feel this way, but you don’t deserve to turn it on yourself meow-hug Wouldn’t be as much of a problem if you could get what you need on that front…

      Care-Comrade

      spoiler

      I guarantee you will start to feel better once you start HRT or socially transitioning, even just getting out of your parents house when you’re ready will probably help you.

      This feeling won’t last forever, it’s probably going to feel like you’ve been holding your breath for 5 years and finally can take another breath when you start. Transitioning isn’t a cure-all but it’s definitely the kind of thing that can help anguish and mental health a lot.

      You’re worthy of living and worthy of help and care. It gets better, I swear
