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!

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.
Me when my wife is cuddling me:
Me when I wake up and can’t get back to sleep: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!
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!
guess i’m going to learn Rust!
Incredibly based

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.

Looking at myself in the mirror is so weird
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
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 😔
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.
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
Why does the hawk tuah girl have a podcast and a crypto scam? Wasn’t it just a random street interview? Is this just what you do if you go viral now?
long story short she’s a proxy for jake paul scamming people
that’s one way to spend your 5 minutes of fame
i mean it’s lucrative at the very least lol
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.

Sorry I’m late
Slacking
I know, I know, sorry sorry the UAP business here on the east coast has got me preoccupied.
Going outside talking with people
At least the appointment thing went well. I didn’t even have to say “another cissie down, unlimited transitions upon the cisgender world” or anything funny. I guess my voluminous hair and ambient disdain just command respect or smth
