minus-squarePushButton@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·5 months agoI am reinventing everything in crates that requires zero dependencies, no unsafe code and the strict minimum of macro usage. Like I did a simple date/time library last week, I started an error management crate this week, which pushed me to start a logging crate. I am using the “log facade” crate for the logging, for compatibility you know, but that’s it. The goal is to minimize the dependencies and create straightforward crates. Most of the time, we really just need a car instead of the 18 wheeler.
