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…

joinery : String joining, done generically. Also useful for adding separators between elements in an iterator.

funtime : A small proc-macro helper to time every statement in a given function

ambassador : Delegation of trait implementations via procedural macros

proc-macro-hack : Procedural macros in expression position

fallible-iterator : "Fallible" iterators for Rust.

That looks cool! I'm really hoping 2020 is the year const generics are finally stabilized.

Me too! Although it's kinda weird to think about because it means that some really heavily used crates like typenum will just become completely pointless overnight...

transmogrify : Experimental crate for zero-cost downcasting for limited runtime specialization

join : Macros which provide useful shortcut combinators, combine sync/async chains, support single and multi thread (sync/async) step by step execution of branches, transform tuple of results to result of tuple.

StaticVec: kind of like a const generics version of SmallVec or ArrayVec, with a crazy amount of features
