Show HN: 3D Engine for Rust Programshttps://github.com/David-OConnor/graphicsI mostly stabilized the API for this 2 years ago. Since then, I've made occasional performance improvements, and feature additions. It's built to support my structural biology programs, but can be used generally.I'm posting it here, as from what I understand, this is a surprisingly yet-to-be-developed space. This fits between lower-level tools (Which it relies upon) like WGPU or Vulkan bindings, and higher-level game engine and similar (e.g. Bevy).Use case: Create programs written in Rust that integrate a UI (EGUI) with 3D. Suited for scientific, or general visuals.Aug 22, 2026 2:12 PM

Show HN: A Ruby IDE running on a microcontrollerhttps://github.com/engneer-hamachan/area512I built AREA512, software that lets you write, compile, and run Ruby code entirely on the M5Stack Cardputer.https://github.com/engneer-hamachan/area512One part I put a lot of effort into is the on-device IDE.It has a Vim-like editor with:- Syntax highlighting - Auto-indentation - Code completion - Type checkingThe code completion and type checking aren't implemented using a simple dictionary or predefined list of symbols.Instead, they're powered by picoruby-ti, a type inference engine I developed separately with the goal of making it portable enough to run on PCs, microcontrollers, and web browsers:https://github.com/engneer-hamachan/picoruby-tiI haven't seen many IDEs this feature-rich running entirely on a microcontroller.One of my goals with this project is to preserve some of the spirit of 1980s home computer culture — when the computer you used was also the computer you programmed.I'd love to hear your feedback, especially if you have ideas for features that would be fun or intereAug 22, 2026 1:18 PM
