Exploring `pub(api)` Visibility and Custom Allocators in Rust

A new pre-RFC proposes the `pub(api)` visibility modifier, which aims to enforce crate-internal API boundaries more strictly. This feature would allow developers to declare items that are public within a specific API context but not externally, offering more granular control over API exposure. Additionally, ongoing discussions on the use of custom allocators could lead to enhanced memory management capabilities in Rust, particularly for collections like `Vec`. These changes could provide developers with more robust tools for modular design and performance optimization in their Rust applications.

Introducing ZettaTransport: A UDP Transport Layer for Hostile Networks

ZettaTransport is an open-source Rust project designed to provide a custom UDP transport layer optimized for hostile network environments. It incorporates features like Forward Error Correction (FEC), X25519 encryption, and lock-less I/O operations to enhance reliability and security. This transport layer is particularly useful for developers working on applications that require robust communication channels in challenging network conditions, such as gaming or real-time data streaming applications. ZettaTransport's design focuses on minimizing overhead while maximizing throughput and security.
