# Awesome Rust
A curated list of awesome Rust code and resources. Inspired by the other [awesome lists](https://github.com/bayandin/awesome-awesomeness).
Only projects that are stable and useful to users are added. Projects that do not compile with Rust-nightly for a longer time are moved to [UNSTABLE.md](UNSTABLE.md).
