The Rust Lang Ecosystem — Trans Megathread for the week of December 16, 2024, to December 22, 2024
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!

Getting the gender marker updated at the Social Security Administration office was easy, once I was able to get an appointment. Was complete within 5 minutes, and the staff was nice.
I’ve never had that shit done and I’ve been transitioning for years, I’m surprised it is that simple
Well, it is right now. The Biden admin effectively instituted self-id for federal identification documents (Passports and Social Security Cards). It's very likely that the Trump admin will quickly halt this policy, so I'd recommend getting it done soon if you can.
I hope it comes back after trump
There's gender markers at Social Security? My card never has had any marker of gender on it.
Yes, it's in the database. I strongly recommend that you get it changed if other federal IDs are changed as well, since a mismatch between that and other documents might be flagged if the new administration tries to audit those databases to find trans people.
I second that everyone should go get it changed. Some companies will use a federal background check program when they hire you, and if there is a mismatch between social security record and other forms or ID it can be a problem that prevents you from starting work.
