Elite Rust

Zero-allocation systems experiments. Nightly features. Production patterns.

Rust code that prioritizes performance, safety, and architectural clarity. Each experiment demonstrates a specific technique, constraint, or systems concept implemented with minimal dependencies and maximum signal.

Featured

Experiment	Crate Size	Key Technique
No-Alloc Parser	128 LOC	&str → AST without heap
Lock-Free Queue	89 LOC	crossbeam + atomic primitives
SIMD JSON	247 LOC	std::simd + zero-copy parsing
Async Runtime	412 LOC	Custom executor + pinning model

Characteristics

• Nightly OK: #![feature] usage when it clarifies intent
• Minimal deps: cargo.toml ≤ 4 lines when possible
• Inline benches: criterion or peroxide results in README
• Zero bloat: No clap, serde, tokio unless architecturally required
• Complete examples: Every main.rs runs with cargo run

Philosophy

Rust's strength is constraint as clarity. These experiments show how to:

Avoid the "500-line hello world" trap
Write async code that actually scales
Parse without allocations
Benchmark without cargo-bloat

Usage

git clone https://github.com/pithycyborg/elite-rust
cd experiment-name
cargo run --release
