futility

Functional Utility types, macros, and functions for common tasks or needs in Rust

Motivation

I often have found that I have to keep writing similar logic or types or traits when using Rust through the years and rather than keep rewriting them I'd like to just collect them all into one crate to reuse. futility is that crate.

How to use

Given this is a grab bag of functions and types you can either peruse the documentation or look at the examples provided or the tests to have an understanding of what's possible. Currently these modules exist:

  • termination: types and functions associated with exiting a program

These macros currently exist:

  • try_: a macro to use try/catch blocks in Rust until they're actually implemented in the language

Versioning

Some of these items are implemented in subcrates like the try_ proc-macro. Their versions are tied to the top level fuitlity crate which itself follows semver.
