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 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:

Since combining head and tail to get the top and bottom of a file/pipe is surprisingly difficult, a group of GitHub engineers decided to create headtail as a new open source project for fun (and because we wanted it to exist so we could use it)!

serde-transcode can efficiently convert between various serde-supporting formats: [image] serde-transcode Transcode from one Serde format to another

I'm the author of humansize, a size formatting crate that already has some adoption, but I just published a 2.0 version with new features and a revised API: https://lib.rs/crates/humansize

I'd like to self-nominate dlhn . dlhn is a new serialization format, implemented using serde. We have just released a version that fixes a critical bug. I would like to make this known to those who are using the pre-fixed version.

[self-nomination] HyperQueue , a runtime for ergonomic execution of programs on a distributed cluster, with built-in support for HPC systems.

I'd like to self-nominate emojis , which is a little crate to lookup emojis by Unicode value or gemoji shortcode. You can also iterate over all emojis, iterate over emoji skin tones, and emojis within a group.

I'd like to nominate Screen 13 , an easy-to-use 3D rendering library. It provides a render graph for Vulkan compute, graphic, and ray-trace shader pipelines. Includes documentation and examples!

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