What trends in Rust
Rust’s list leans towards infrastructure: command-line tools, terminals and editors, databases and storage engines, runtimes, and the fast cores of tools that are used from other languages. A project here is often a rewrite of an existing tool with performance or safety as the selling point, or the engine behind a Python or JavaScript package.
Installing what you find
Programs published to crates.io install with cargo install, which compiles them on your machine and needs the Rust toolchain. Many projects also ship prebuilt binaries through Homebrew, npm or a release page, and their README recommends that route instead. The command box shows the line the README gives, whichever package manager it uses.
For all languages together, see today’s list, this week or this month.
