In RFC : Try-Catch Blocks , someone expressed concern over the discoverability of crates. To improve this situation, I suggested to have a "Crate of the Week" similar to TWIR's "Quote of the Week". To jump-start this, I'm hereby asking you folks for nominations. We seek crates that are useful, unsun…

I'd like to put in a self-plug for aliri_braid . It's a crate than enables the easy and ergonomic creation of strongly-typed newtype wrappers around string values, supporting multiple string-like types, including the standard String, SmartString (for small-string optimizations), ByteString (for Bytes-…

Nominating cargo vet , an alternative to cargo crev to audit your dependencies. These tool would really benefit from a network effect of public audits.

I'd like to (somewhat) self-plug error-stack . It's a new error-handling library which lets you efficiently attach any arbitrary (thread-safe) data to the Err arm of a Result. And before you ask why we wrote yet another error library :grinning: we've got the answers in this post which goes through so…

I’d like to nominate atom_syndication (‘Library for serializing the Atom web content syndication format.’) .

I'd like to nominate TicKV (Tiny Circular Key Value) . It's a small file system allowing key value pairs to be stored in Flash Memory. It doesn't require any dependencies and works with no_std It's designed to allow embedded Rust applications to store data in flash, while maintaining loss resilience…

I'd like to self-nominate coprosize , which has just reached v1.0.0. It's just a tool for the study of dino dung :poop: but this is the only computer program of this kind in any programming language. :crab:

I like to nominate bevy_reflect - especially for its TypeUuid that also supports generics and helps a lot building runtime composable structures! (Note that generic supporting TypeUuid is currently unreleased AFAICS)

Shame : A shader EDSL for writing render and compute pipelines in rust.

dacquiri - Rust just stumbled upon this and it looks super interesting

I nominate cap-std, a version of standard library designed to support capability-based security. Currently it seems to be mostly focused on file system access.
