Rust Programming Language / Building Crates/Libraries

Shipping a Solid Rust Crate by Michael Gattozzi

There's a lot more to releasing a quality crate than just the code. Automating the testing to make sure nothing breaks, checking for test coverage, making sure there are examples, providing documentation are important in making your crate solid and easy to use. Beyond that how do you get people to actually use your crate? You might not know how to increase the visibility of your crate or of small things that can be done to get interest in your crate. This talk covers all of these aspects to help improve the quality of ones crate beyond the code itself.

The existence of libraries with nice, user-friendly interfaces is one of the most important factors when choosing a programming language. And while there are lots of books about how to write idiomatic libraries in other languages, finding the same information for Rust is more difficult. With this in mind, this talk will present several techniques that help developers take advantage of all that Rust has to offer and create idiomatic APIs: From implementing conversion traits and session types to using custom iterators and decorating built-in types.
