Obversvations
- CompreFace project looks pretty interesting if you want to try or use face recognition functionality in your application.
- QuestDB one more player in SQL DB world used by such companines as Airbus, Toggle, Turk Telecom and others.
- Solana is a clear leader in Rust’s “new starts” repositories, almost every monthly review Rust section includes any of Solana-related repositories. This month’s review is the Anchor project.
- Starting newly with Rust or switching from other programming languages and don’t know how to implement a specific algorithm in Rust, so see The Algorithms – Rust repository.
- Based on official documentation SWC is 20x faster than Babel on a single thread and 70x faster on four cors, if you use Babel and want to build your projects faster SWC is worth trying.
- If Git CLI for some reason doesn’t work for you, there is a GitUI project which probably you want to try.
