The Rust Lang Ecosystem — Trans Megathread for the week of December 16, 2024, to December 22, 2024

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!

    • I smoke weed, lie awake and distract myself knowing that tomorrow the anxiety will probably be a bit less bad. I wish I knew of any better remedies

    • Disidentifying from my thoughts has helped. It leaves me wanting something to identify with and finding nothing, but I’ll be fine. There is a mechanism that keeps catching RSD in the act and disengaging.

      • How do I do this pls =)

        • Btw this is mindfulness but whole-er. I extrapolate from my experience and what I’ve heard that other autists would see through the absurd contradiction in the mainstream suggestion that some thoughts belong to the self and others do not.

          • I have seen your other posts and I'm not sure I fully grasp what I'm reading, other than the obvious. Also if you brought me orange book posting I would probably bully orange book, that is my new bit...

            • That’s alright and understandable. I should not expect anything to be the same. I think I am going to stop trying to drag people onto the path to ultimate reality who are not perpetually befuddled by existence. Still, I must recommend mindfulness and meditation. You can do the other practices without fully understanding it, but honestly just note sensations and watch them pass.

        • I will interest trade you reading Nevada for practicing insight.

      • A+ comment, I completely relate to this. I think there's a grain of truth to this:

        my brain is using this like a chew toy, I'm making myself anxious for fun!

        for me too, but my current theory is that being miserable is the easiest thing in the world. I want more than that, though, so I fight.

        • for me too, but my current theory is that being miserable is the easiest thing in the world. I want more than that, though, so I fight.

          Oh for sure, I've faced misery as a default on and off for a long time. I have to work to be happy, but when I get there it feels like it was worth it.

        • But for me, at this point I get more anxious about ambiguity than anything else. There are situations where it's like, if I could even tell clear-cut whether it was my fault, I could deal with it better. I tend to get huge spikes of anxiety when there's no sensory input, socially, like I don't get any feedback...

          Same same.. Its so difficult. The ambiguity is killer...

          This is awesome, love to see it. There is no "right number of times" for anything social related!

          YES. I am working on internalising this.

          • Same same.. Its so difficult. The ambiguity is killer...

            If there's a part of being autistic I actually truly loathe, it's this. Being incapable of reading social cues or whatever on its own is not awful, but it leaves me drowned in anxiety sometimes and aaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

            I am working on internalising this.

            You just send people however many messages you want, you just talk to em a lot and it's great y'know... Their inboxes full, their minds full, with our incredible yapping...

            • it leaves me drowned in anxiety sometimes

              yes. yes... sigh... it is such a struggle at times. makes me very glad for the little breaks I get from being a Human Adult(tm) when I can just become a lesser creature and everything can be simple.

              Also, text conversations can be helpful too.

              Their inboxes full, their minds full, with our incredible yapping...

              fuck yes I love this framing. my messages are a gift lmao, why would any reasonable person be upset about them? I never feel bad receiving messages from people, so this really should be one of those "treat yourself how you treat others" moments...

              • makes me very glad for the little breaks I get from being a Human Adult(tm) when I can just become a lesser creature and everything can be simple.

                god I wish that were me

                Also, text conversations can be helpful too.

                Oh yeah I mean, imagine talking to people irl???

                fuck yes I love this framing. my messages are a gift lmao, why would any reasonable person be upset about them? I never feel bad receiving messages from people, so this really should be one of those "treat yourself how you treat others" moments...

                Exactly this

                You're gettin it now!

                • god I wish that were me

                  aw i hope you can get there too

                  talkign to people irl

                  tbf most of the people i talk to IRL are ND in some fashion or are like work people and i'm very comfortable in that role so

                  Exactly this You're gettin it now!

                  i sure have changed a lot in the past couple of months!

                  • aw I hope you can get there

                    Shall see...

                    tbf most of the people i talk to IRL are ND in some fashion

                    This would rock, Idk where to get people irl like I find online honestly..

                    i sure have changed a lot in the past couple of months!

                    All good changes! Exciting tbh ✨

    • It’s learned and certainly not going to be an overnight fix. Just continuously having conversations and getting better. At least that is what worked for me. Though my ex did always say I was extroverted even though I’m AuDHD, so maybe it was a little more natural. Taking your mind off of the worrying of whether or not you’re doing something wrong and just enjoying your company always helps too.

      As for the thoughts, just find ways to distract yourself and let the thoughts slide away. Sooner or later, not dwelling on them will become second nature.

      For the record, this is all personal experience. Everyone is different. You do you at the end of the day.

      • I mean I can agree that it gets better with time/experience and that's always good to remember... Also being extroverted and AuDHD is rad tbh.

        The trouble I have, I guess, is that I can distract myself pretty well during the day, but when it's time for bed I end up laying awake, eyes closed, brain immovably focused on whatever anxiety thing

        I just wanna go to sleeeep... I geeet it brain, you decided I fucked up. Can I sleep now?

        I have a lot of brain related sleep issues like this and Idrk what to do about em :/

        • That's a good point and a problem I've had in the past. What I've done to resolve this, personally, is to turn on my TV with the sleep timer, and put on something calm that can eat my attention, but not to the point where it'll keep me awake. The type of videos that work for me are Japanese bakery videos. Might try something like that.
