The Rust Lang Ecosystem β 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!

You're viewing a single thread.
Well, based on the voting, it looks Tracha will soon become a matrix space (or something very similar to it)!
Hopefully this might allow for more topic-based discussion, and discussions can be less overwhelming for those who need it to be that way (hi).
What implications does this have? Cause I avoid it due to it constantly having hundreds of notifications. What exactly is a matrix space?
It's a thing on matrix that allows for multiple rooms under one roof. It's sort of like a discord server.
My picking rooms you would want notifications from, and blocking the notifications of others, you could follow the rooms you really want to follow, while following others when you want to. I think we could create rooms by rough categories, like gaming, general chat, or tea, for example. That last bit is just me throwing out ideas that could work.
Isnt it already
Right now it's just a single room. I don't know when we're planning on making the changes though.
