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 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 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!
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!
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!

Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.
just yesterday i drew a 7 han monster of a hand. Shousangen, Honitsu, 1 red dora tile. I had a pair of 1 man and a pair of white dragons, and I drew the third 1 man. I could have called tsumo and walked away with 12,000 points but I really, really wanted that yakuman. I've never made a yakuman before and my heart was pounding at the thought of it. I had a good hand but it wasn't a yakuman. All I needed was for one clumsy fuck in the Mahjong Soul silver room to discard it. I discarded my winning tile to go into furiten to chase that third white dragon. I could still get out of furiten by discarding all my 1 mans, calling pon on the last white dragon, and going into a tanki wait.
Immediately after, the player to my right discards a tile and the player across from me calls ron and wins with a 1 han open wind hand
This was immediately after I asked out that one girl who i've been interested in for months and really still want to be friends with if this doesn't work out. She hasn't said what her thoughts are yet and I won't know until Saturday
