    Port FlatBuffers to Rust (#4898) · 3c54fd96
    Robert authored
    This is a port of FlatBuffers to Rust. It provides code generation and a
    runtime library derived from the C++ implementation. It utilizes the
    Rust type system to provide safe and fast traversal of FlatBuffers data.
    
    There are 188 tests, including many fuzz tests of roundtrips for various
    serialization scenarios. Initial benchmarks indicate that the canonical
    example payload can be written in ~700ns, and traversed in ~100ns.
    
    Rustaceans may be interested in the Follow, Push, and SafeSliceAccess
    traits. These traits lift traversals, reads, writes, and slice accesses
    into the type system, providing abstraction with no runtime penalty.
