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 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 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!
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!
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!

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.
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. /s
