# Awesome Rust
A curated list of awesome Rust code and resources. Inspired by the other [awesome lists](https://github.com/bayandin/awesome-awesomeness).
Ther goal is to have only projects that are mostly stable and useful to users. Projects that do not compile with Rust-nightly for a longer time should be removed.
