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!

today, hexbear.net user EstraDoll has for whatever reason again decided to post things that should not be posted
i have the absolute worst hobby of "punching random characters into rule34 to see how many tags they have"220 tags for the movie "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer"
I used to do this on fan fiction sites. Turns out Sonic fanfic is amazingly popular.
Hexbear has a tagline that recommends a Sonic fanfic
Same! I try to look for the ones with the least fics, Age of Wonders has 2 on ao3 and they're both about Planetfall or whatever the scifi spin off was
I try to look for really bad but hilarious ones. The funniest one still to this day is an old one called Batman & Robocop: The Day Men Found Love. It’s… Interesting, to say the least. I’d throw out a CW for it, but I can’t really explain what the CW is for exactly. It’s just too weird. All I can really say is that the words “penis grenade” will be forever etched into your psyche after reading it.
Two Piggies, one made of metal and one of Massive Mental Issues. They fuck.
that sounds fantastic
Oh it’s even better than that.
spoiler
Robocop NEEDS to have sex with Batman because he discovered his true identity and now needs to eject his memories from his butt to preserve Batman’s secret. He can only do that by having sex, but he left his mechanical penis back at the station, and so has to rummage through the trash for a substitute. This is all explained in the story and makes total sense. /sThat sounds real dumb.
~so~ ~uh~~....it's~ ~on~ ~ao3?~
It’s on fanfiction.net: https://m.fanfiction.net/s/5667740/1/Batman-and-Robocop-The-Day-the-Men-Found-Love (CW: I DON’T EVEN KNOW)
it's....beautiful
my life is truly lesser for having read this, thank you.
