astd: Abseil Std Utilities for no_std Rust

Overview

astd (Abseil-Standard Library) is a Rust library providing a selection of utility functions and data structures designed for no_std environments. The library takes inspiration from the Abseil C++ libraries, aiming to provide a drop in replacement for std, with entirely different underpinnings and perhaps some new features later.

The key principle behind astd is to offer alternatives to the standard Rust library (std) functionalities. This is particularly relevant in no_std contexts where control over dependencies and resource usage is paramount. Also allows alternatives without introducing std for debugging.

I am in the process of writing a stripped down-ultra fast std replacement for bare metal from toasters to supercomputers, this project arose from that, I can get my bindings, and prove this isn't that crazy, since for this, I WILL adhere to Rust principles for safety.

Features

Does not yet brew tea. Things will be in flux. I dropped in the starter project, std src from rust, which I'm just going to use as a template. 740 files to rewrite. I totally got this.
