cns (Crate Name Search) is a handy terminal based interface to search for Rust crates. I like using it to quickly:

Copy the crate dependency line for Cargo.toml to the clipboard
Open the crate docs or repo in a browser

Camino is an API mirroring std::path, but UTF-8 encoded instead of using OsString.

egg "The egg project uses e-graphs to provide a new way to build program optimizers and synthesizers."

There's also a short MDBook introducing the conceptual space of e-graphs and how to get started with the crate, which I thought was very nice: https://docs.rs/egg/0.6.0/egg/tutorials

We could give a shout-out to https://crates.io/crates/httpdate for going 1.0.0 this week. As noted in Review httpdate before the release of v1.0 - #5 by pyfisch, this crate is widely successful and speaks to the growing maturity of Rust's ecosystem.

Self-nomination: https://crates.io/crates/rs_pbrt ... So far I was under the impression, that only a library should be published, but because most of the crate is actually a library, and several executables are provided (using that library), using various scene descriptions I went ahead and (finally) published what I have been working on the last 3 to 4 years ... I hope you like it. It is compatible to v3 of the C++ code, even though v4 is already online and the matching book version on the horizon.
