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!

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. WoahIt'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!
All things are impermanent. Personally I have given up contemplating gender and sexuality for now but I may resume again at any time.
I read in a book on autism that some explicitly call this correlation “autism gender.” I have a few explanations. We socially present and are perceived as different no matter what and therefore often do not fit neatly into at least consciously into the default. If we take the time to investigate our feelings surrounding the subject we see quickly that the ideas imposed by neurotypical society about “gender” are inaccurate (bottom up vs top down thinking). Of course it could also be the case that are brains are extra “weird” and the sensory information we take to be the basis of our ideas are actually notably different than cis people (“inherent gender” or whatever).
My state is of investigation of general sensations with emphasis on the “internal” ones. Once clarity is increased with those in addition to the development of other things I will be better prepared to return to this investigation. Honestly I only get more in awe of this absurd existence being of and among gross hairless apes in an absurd society and gender seems like a secondary question.
When I assumed I was cis-by-default who knew pretty much nothing about trans people except they existed, I decided to look up "autism gender" because it felt like my relation with gender was greatly influenced by presumed autism. I don't think I even knew how prevalent autism was for trans people (at least for those who acknowledge being trans on surveys) and was honestly confused how autistic people could be trans given gender just seemed like neurotypical BS, but also didn't really want to think about it too much because I didn't want to deal with actual self-reflection.
Real. While I could see one accidentally adopting gender rules rigidly, I imagine to most autists would think transmedicalism sounds absurd.
This investigation rocks, love it.
Couldn't be me! hahaha haha... ha :|
Still trying to convince myself to just sit down and read the gender accelerationist manifesto on the reg
Being trans fucking rules tho ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
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
