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!

not sure if this is anything but could help
I have been nervous about social situations for a while for the exact reason you said: I never know how it’s going. I am kinda always second guessing myself and what I find is that my mind is just spitting these sort of anxious thoughts out really quickly. So for me there is value in forcing my brain to slow down, sometimes it’s me distracting myself and sometimes it’s me sitting still trying to just observe the nasty thoughts. When they’re slower, I recognize what for me is essentially a script of self-hatred. Not really any organic or in-the-moment thoughts.
So, I tell myself that I’m not good but I don’t even really believe that when I beat myself up. And it’s the same kind of thing with mistakes. I literally keep thinking about dumb shit from 2019, and even though I have the insight to reflect, I am still trapped in wondering if I did something stupid. There’s this recognition more and more that my brain is using this like a chew toy, I’m making myself anxious for fun!
I am often caught in a literal way of relating to people! I’m currently trying to talk myself out of there being a “right number of times” to reach out during a week or “does this warrant texting someone”. Because I’m so caught up on these things that I just don’t text. I want to be better connected, and that desire is starting to outgrow my fear of saying something stupid.
Again, not sure if this is anything, but I relate very much to your comment
oh waow

Why would the brain do this, it causes us distress so surely we should not?
But for me, at this point I get more anxious about ambiguity than anything else. There are situations where it’s like, if I could even tell clear-cut whether it was my fault, I could deal with it better. I tend to get huge spikes of anxiety when there’s no sensory input, socially, like I don’t get any feedback…

This is awesome, love to see it. There is no “right number of times” for anything social related! Message people, cause problems ✨ For me it is also hard because, uh I genuinely annoy people a lot of the time, literally I talk too much. That might sound like an eyerolling anxiety self hate thing, but I talk at extreme lengths to the point people have just quit in the past. So Idk, I just wish I could go to bed without my brain wondering if I’ve fucked up, not sure…

Same same… Its so difficult. The ambiguity is killer…

YES. I am working on internalising this.

If there’s a part of being autistic I actually truly loathe, it’s this. Being incapable of reading social cues or whatever on its own is not awful, but it leaves me drowned in anxiety sometimes and aaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

You just send people however many messages you want, you just talk to em a lot and it’s great y’know… Their inboxes full, their minds full, with our incredible yapping…
Brains are confusing

I relate to this so much, and I find that I have to rely on myself to interpret things. Which is, like, terrifying, because if I misread things I might feel super embarrassed. I’m very much used to relying on someone else’s opinions

Sadly I am pretty much the opposite, I am quiet to the point that I can’t engage and others don’t know how and neither do I. It’s frustrating because I can’t hate myself but also, hot damn I would like to change this about myself. I wish I had better insight for this specifically
No kidding...

I have very much got into the habit of just not making any assumptions or interpretations beyond the very literal. I must be infuriating to talk to but lol

If you find a really weird special interest that you really like, maybe it’ll drive you to talk more? :3 The vast majority of my social motivation is talking about weird stuff, Idk.
A+ comment, I completely relate to this. I think there’s a grain of truth to this:

for me too, but my current theory is that being miserable is the easiest thing in the world. I want more than that, though, so I fight.

Oh for sure, I’ve faced misery as a default on and off for a long time. I have to work to be happy, but when I get there it feels like it was worth it.
