        • week

        I wrote a bespoke time-series database in Rust a few years ago, and it has

        had exactly one issue since I stood it up in production, and that was due to
        pessimistic filesystem access patterns, rather than the language. This thing
        is handling hundreds of thousands of inserts per second, and it’s even
        threaded.

        Given that I’ve been programming professionally for over a decade in Python,

        Perl, Ruby, C, C++, Javascript, Java, and Rust, I’ll pick Rust absolutely
        any time that I want something running that I won’t get called at 3 AM to
        fix. It probably took me 5 times as long to write it as if I did it in Go or
        Python, but I guarantee it’s saved me 10 times as much time I would have
        otherwise spent triaging, debugging, and running disaster recovery.

          • A Rust library for reading the OpenStreetMap PBF file format (*.osm.pbf). It

          strives to offer the best performance using parallelization and
          lazy-decoding with a simple interface while also exposing iterators for
          items of every level in a PBF file.
