We’ve been working on this whole ecosystem of OpenAPI related Rust facilities—server framework, linter, client codegen, CLI codegen, test framework, etc. It’s got all the fussiness and brevity that I love about Rust. I’m looking forward to talking about it in Austin!

I've been working on a Rust crate that generates an interface from an OpenAPI document. I wrote it for some APIs I care about, but it will probably work for others. If you occupy that narrow intersection of Rust and OpenAPI let me know what you think: github.com/oxidecomputer/pro…
