A language empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.
from rust-lang.org
Rust by itself is a great language, but what really makes it shine are its many great crates. The ecosystem around rust is one of the best there is, and its documentation is practically unrivalled. So lets look at some of those crates!
actix-web
Actix-web is an amazing web server framework for rust. It's modular, easy to use, intuitive and fast. It's also what lemmy is built on! So when you use this very site, you are using something build with actix!
Bevy
Bevy is a code first game engine for rust, based on the ECS paradigm. It's incredibly refreshing and different from most other engines. It is also unbelievably modular, in fact, just about every part of the engine cam be removed or added as you please! If you are every looking for something simple to play around, try bevy!
Tokio
The backbone of most asynchronous rust. It provides everything needed to build reliable, fast web applications!
Serde
Serde is the go-to library for serialization and deserialisation in rust. Its derive macros make it a breeze to use, and there are countless crates supporting various formats with Serde!
SQLx
SQLx is an amazingly simple sql handling crate. It is both feature rich and yet simple, and just a joy to use!
Reqwest
A neat little crate for sending http(s) requests! It's also used in Lemmy, and just about anywhere else where someone needs to do get some thing from an http(s) endpoint!
And this is far from all! Rust is a lovely language, with an even more amazing ecosystem!
Have an amazing week, everyone!

would it be weird to go to a clinic like Planned Parenthood for gender affirming care but to only ask for finasteride? I will likely get on proper HRT at some point, I'm still thinking about it, but my hair needs to be fixed NAOW. Would a trichologist/dermatologist be more appropriate?
the thing I'm worried about with more conventional doctors is that I'm still closeted/"boymoding" so I feel like they might discourage finasteride or encourage other less effective treatments because they think I'm actively trying to avoid feminizing side effects when really it's a plus lol
I think that would be fine. In my experience, PP seems very willing to provide treatment that suits your needs. During my first appointment they asked me what my transition goals were.
I’d go to planned parenthood hood and explain your situation. Normal dose would be fine (1mg). There’s not much data about higher dose use of finasteride in trans or NB/GNC people but it’s probably safer than for cis people. I actually take 5mg. Have been doing so for a couple of months. After a year of 2.5mg.
Also generic finasteride is often very cheap, many hair loss places are scams to get you to pay several times more than what it actually costs, which is 20 dollars AUD here for 30x5mg tablets which you can halve or quarter or 30 dollars for 30 x 1mgs. If that seems odd that the bigger dose is cheaper, I don’t know why but supply and demand or something.
Ask for what you want now. Going to PP seems like a good way to make it more comfortable.
