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'm getting my orchi on Jan. 10 and am starting the process of getting top surgery. Not sure I'll be able to get top surgery before they ban gov coverage of GAC but at least I got the process started. If they do, I'll get it done privately and raise the money the old fashioned way, a combination of getting on my knees and also mutual aid

It's been a good day in gender for me, folks. I'm upping my estradiol and spiro doses and got a referral for a tracheal shave.

[-] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 7 points 3 hours ago

Why do I already need to shave my arms again kitty-cri-potato and shower... and shave the rest of me... catgirl-flop

[-] nightshade@hexbear.net 8 points 3 hours ago

The two muscular arms meme with Ferris the Rust mascot on one side and Ferris the anime catgirl on the other side, and in the center it says "Being trans cultural icons"

this thread is reminding me of how badly i've wanted to learn rust for years (shaking my fist at uni-aged self who had way too much free time). i got too many hobbies and my job is programming. i just don't have the spoons oooaaaaaaauhhh

CW: injection

Just did injection after only an hour of overthinking and now I have hiccups. Soooo, now anxiety is in overdrive and I'm worried I did something wrong.

Maybe I should have just spent more money on another from of estrogen instead, but this is the price to pay for being broke I guess.

EDIT: its been an around an hour and im still suffering from hiccups. nothing is helping. existence is pain.

EDIT 2: yay they seem to be gone now. Please no jinx.

EDIT 3: I jinxed it :'( and now it feels stronger and hurts a bit

[-] Tomboymoder@hexbear.net 8 points 5 hours ago

I don’t think doing your injection “wrong” would cause hiccups.

[-] Tayphix@hexbear.net 6 points 5 hours ago

Tell that to brain :'(

[-] nemmybun@hexbear.net 10 points 7 hours ago

Approval for the actual surgery part of my FFS went through today, all that's left now is to schedule it and start counting down. And if that wasn't amazing enough, I also finally got a refund check I've been expecting (but was told it could have come as late as 2028 lol) and it's more than I thought it was gonna be. Truly a fantastic day.

went and took a concealed carry class yesterday and was apprehensive because i dressed full femme. It was hosted at a local pistol range. It ended up being lovely. The instructor was extra friendly to me (I sat in the front row). A cute little queer person (Pretty sure) was there and complimented my earrings. I love my town. I love being a woman!

Me when my wife is cuddling me: doggirl-sleep
Me when I wake up and can’t get back to sleep: doggirl-cry

i'm finally starting to mess around with more eye makeup than just mascara and oh my do i loves it. i wish it was easier to put on but i suppose that's the barrier to entry. Will be excited when it doesn't take me an hour + to get all glammed up!

[-] Siobhan@hexbear.net 22 points 10 hours ago

Loving this site. Got misgendered on a comment and hot damn if someone didn't show up point two seconds later to correct them . Think I have a new hero

Fastest mods in the west brace-cowboy

[-] MoonElf@hexbear.net 8 points 8 hours ago

guess i'm going to learn Rust!

[-] yewler@hexbear.net 7 points 6 hours ago

Incredibly based

[-] Edie@hexbear.net 9 points 9 hours ago

I was wondering why things had suddenly changed. Today and yesterday (at least) I have been... different. Wanting to get out and socialize, bunch of new thoughts on gender. Wonder if not taking ADHD meds for some time and then starting back up might have been the cause.

[-] EstraDoll@hexbear.net 12 points 10 hours ago

rewatching I saw the tv glow and god damn they perfectly managed to capture the vibe of a deeply repressed egg in Owen. I'm genuinely stunned at just how perfectly they managed to capture the look and feel of a repressed trans woman in her

[-] char_deferred@hexbear.net 6 points 5 hours ago

That movie is so good. I need to rewatch it—-haven’t yet though because I was in tears almost the whole movie the first time. The movie brought back memories of my pre transition self.

[-] bolshevikLovelace@hexbear.net 4 points 7 hours ago

it's so goooood, been a few months since i watched it but i've never cried during a movie like that. i really want to watch it again but think i should find some trans friends to watch it with, my cis partner didn't get it straight away 😔

[-] SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net 5 points 8 hours ago

It's real egg-cracker and Justice Smith is a hell of an actor. I cried so much after it ended the way it did. It was the last push I needed to start HRT.

[-] Edie@hexbear.net 10 points 10 hours ago

Looking at myself in the mirror is so weird

[-] lilypad@hexbear.net 12 points 10 hours ago

::: spoiler socializing is weird

I have a friend who i just cannot pin down, and its really frustrating. She said last night that she thinks im scared of her, to which i replied "sometimes"; in my introspection on that theres like 3 different processes at play.

I find myself wary and ready to deal with tough feelings when im with her in one on one situations, because she tends to talk about her personal growth and especially her ex, which is a situation similar enough to my longest relationship that it brings up a bunch of shit that ive mostly processed but is still difficult feelings, so I end up wary and readying myself to deal with them.

Then i also just suck at group interactions. So one on one its hard, and in groups its hard. So i am kinda scared, not of her but of my own shit and finding myself being extra alert and hypervigilant when we all hang out.

Doesnt help that she uses social cues to indicate when shes teasing/poking fun with me that i struggle to pick up on (and she does that a lot). So even when its good interactions it takes a lot of energy catgirl-flop

[-] Tommasi@hexbear.net 11 points 10 hours ago

Why does the hawk tuah girl have a podcast and a crypto scam? catgirl-huh Wasn't it just a random street interview? Is this just what you do if you go viral now?

[-] gaystyleJoker@hexbear.net 11 points 10 hours ago

long story short she's a proxy for jake paul scamming people

[-] Tommasi@hexbear.net 8 points 10 hours ago

that's one way to spend your 5 minutes of fame

[-] gaystyleJoker@hexbear.net 8 points 10 hours ago

i mean it's lucrative at the very least lol

[-] space_comrade@hexbear.net 11 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

Rust is fucking amazing anybody that hates Rust is just a pissy little baby that doesn't have the attention span to learn how to deal with the borrow checker and some of the async quirks and is jealous of the people that can. I will absolutely die on this hill, Rust is light itself.

Compile times suck if you don't have a powerful workstation/laptop tho.
