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!

One of the major classic meditation objects is the ‘foulness of the body.’ I wonder how many monks would have been trans. Or autistic? Allistics don’t seem to understand how gross all humans are. Idk.
I think that there's a huge overlap between very religious people and neurodivergence. Like it's pretty easy to see how monastic life would appeal to autistic people. If I wasn't an atheist and they took trans girls it would probably be great for me lol.
Definitely. I’ve also heard about autistic Christians who care a lot more about the actual teachings than most people who claim the religion. There are many draws: the rules for how to live, the answers of “ultimate truth,” the wealth of knowledge to learn from, the ethics and justice, etc. It’s amazing how little regard most people have for existential issues today, and in the past they’d be satisfied with shallow religious answers from local leaders.
Edit: asexuality, being a hermit, extra dmt in the brain, explicit social rules, bottom up and black and white thought, and more are also bonuses. Being a monk sounds awesome. It’s a pity all the NTs who weren’t cut out for it but would fake stuff for free food.
Also discomfort with thoughts, confused identity, need to suppress impulses, focus on internal world, dispassion with senses… forgot to mention how it totally makes sense trans women used to be religious leaders in many cultures.
