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, unsung and/or ubercool! @nasa42 Should we find a strong contender, I'd like to put a few lines on it in the next TWIR. If you like I can write them personally.

(self-nomination) Cargo-pgo is a Cargo subcommand for optimizing Rust binaries with PGO and also BOLT (the LLVM post-link binary optimizer). [image] GitHub - Kobzol/cargo-pgo: Cargo subcommand for optimizing binaries with PGO... Cargo subcommand for optimizing binaries with PGO and BOLT. - GitHub - Kobzol/cargo-pgo: Cargo subcommand for optimizing binaries with PGO and BOLT.

(self-nomination) :crab: sass-embedded-host-rust is a rust library that will communicate with Embedded Dart Sass using the Embedded Sass protocol.

I'd like to nominate tuples, which so far is the only crate I've found that provides a .cloned() method for element-wise cloning, i.e. if you have a (&T, &U, &V) and you want a clone of type (T, U, V). It also has a bunch of other handy tuple manipulation helpers, it's no_std, and has a bunch of feature flags so you can opt out of stuff you don't need!

I'd like to nominate bytehound -- an excellent memory profiler for Rust which I've been looking for for four years.

self-nomination sql_query_builder Allow you to write SQL queries in a simple and composable way. The main goal is to find the best balance between write idiomatic SQL queries and manage scenarios of complex query composition mixed with conditional clauses.

I nominate @BurntSushi's bstr in honor of its 1.0 release: A byte string library for Rust - Andrew Gallant's Blog I blog mostly about my own programming projects.

I'd like to self-nominate shuttle, the only "Rust-native" solution to deploy your app. Cost-free and hassle-free. Just add one annotation to your main file, run the deploy command and you are good to go. Currently it supports, in terms of deployment: Tide Rocket Poem Axum Tower Serenity And in terms of databases: Postgre MongoDB

I'd like to self-nominate pci-driver, a crate for developing PCI/PCIe drivers in Rust.

I'd like to nominate match_deref, a proc-macro that implements deref patterns on stable Rust. This solves a major pain point when working with recursive data structures, such as ASTs.

I'd like to nominate GitHub - Narigo/keepass-diff: A CLI-tool to diff Keepass (.kdbx) files. Useful, if syncing with Dropbox or NextCloud and getting multiple files due to conflicts., which came in very handy just now :wink:
