This repository serves as a community-driven, curated list of missing or underdeveloped libraries and tools within the Rust ecosystem. It aims to identify gaps in functionality across various domains, from machine learning and game development to geospatial information systems and UI frameworks, encouraging developers to contribute solutions.

How It Works

The project functions as a living document and issue tracker. The README enumerates specific use cases and problem domains lacking robust Rust support. The issue tracker allows community members to vote on desired features, comment with use cases, and place bounties on specific gaps, thereby prioritizing development efforts.

Quick Start & Requirements

This project is a list and does not require installation or execution. Contributions are made by editing the README or interacting with the issue tracker.

Highlighted Details

• Identifies missing libraries for common tasks like HDF5, AMQP 1.0, and various Office document formats.
• Highlights gaps in machine learning, including comprehensive toolkits comparable to Python's scikit-learn and deep learning frameworks with GPU support.
• Details the need for more mature game engine integrations (Unreal, Unity) and pure Rust game engines with robust editors.
• Points out deficiencies in areas like geospatial data processing (OGC standards, GDAL wrappers) and native UI frameworks.

Maintenance & Community

The project relies on community contributions for updates and issue tracking. Links to contributing guides and the issue tracker are provided within the README for engagement.

Licensing & Compatibility

The repository itself is a list, and the licensing of the listed projects varies. Compatibility for commercial use or closed-source linking depends on the individual projects identified as missing or incomplete.

Limitations & Caveats

As a curated list of missing items, the project's "completeness" is subjective and constantly evolving. Many identified gaps represent significant undertakings, and the success of filling them depends entirely on community adoption and development effort.
