Handmade Rust

This is a project to create a Vulkan rendering engine using only the Rust core library, no std, alloc, or any other external dependencies. It is accompanied by a blog series.

Right now it only targets Windows. This may change in this future.

• cbor: Implements CBOR serialization and deserialization.
• fnd: A standard library replacement with allocator-aware containers.
• gfx: An abstraction over Vulkan to make use of Rust features for type safety and convenience.
• hash_macro: Compile-time string literal hashing. Requires proc_macro_hygiene at the moment.
