I built a JWT support library at work (https://github.com/geldata/gel-rust/tree/master/gel-jwt) and I can confirm that JWTs all sound like "eyyyyyy" in my head.

What Hacker News says
5 sourcesThis is awesome. I've been working on a project to make the PostgreSQL/EdgeDB/Gel protocols declarative in Rust (see https://github.com/geldata/gel-rust/blob/master/gel-pg-proto... for an example) and my approach to fuzzing has been somewhat arbitrary (you can see at the bottom).
I've used AFL but never managed to create a consistent fuzzing process using it.
This _should_ allow me to add some more extensive fuzz tests than I've currently been using, even though the grammar is binary since we're really just "parsing" and "rendering" text that happens to be [u8] rather than str.
I don't think there's been any real discussion of the Postgres message format philosophy, but it's a very regular syntax: messages are composed of primitives and lists. Lists are either length-prefixed or zero-suffixed. Everything else is just a combination of thes

Do you have any timeline on when i can use this with rust?
Found this: https://github.com/edgedb/edgedb-rust
In Show HN: EdgeDB 1.0This looks pretty cool. I'd be interested to hear when the Rust bindings will be production ready: https://github.com/edgedb/edgedb-rust
In Show HN: EdgeDB 1.0I have a few questions I can't find after skimming the documentation..
Can someone use Postgres extensions with EdgeDB, like TimescaleDB, PostGIS, Zombodb and Postgres_fdw?
How are sum types (called enums in Rust) modelled in EdgeDB? (like Rust's Result). Do I need to define it with inheritance, where each variant inherits from it? What about adding specific syntax for sum types?
edit: also, I see there's a WIP custom #[derive] for Rust in https://github.com/edgedb/edgedb-rust - can it store Rust types on EdgeDB? Something like http://diesel.rs/ or even https://lib.rs/crates/turbosql
