"1.e-01" is for 0.1, not 1.0.

In implementing Rust's serde_json library, I have dealt with both string-to-double and double-to-string. Of the two, I found string-to-double was more complex. Unlike formatting, c…

I think about pull requests the same way: As a library maintainer, closing and empathetically conveying why a pull request is not a net benefit to the project is an order of magnit…

Not automatic, but it already supports a measure of "how much" you depend on a project: boosting. You can boost dependencies up or down by up to a factor of 20 (e^3). The formula i…

Currently 2863 crates (2.6% of crates). Note that the search you linked also includes crates that only have "rust" in the description or readme, not just the crate name -- that is …

I have a non-toy multi-language project in https://github.com/dtolnay/cxx for which I have both Buck2 and Bazel build rules. On my machine `buck2 clean && time buck2 build :cxx` ta…

I used it with great success for transpiring libyaml from C to Rust. I even set up Miri to run the upstream library's entire transpiled test suite, and the fact it passes is valida…
