Guidelines checklist

Checklist

Guidelines checklist

This document is collaboratively editable. Pick a few of the guidelines, compare the rayon crate against them, and fill in the checklist with [y] if the crate conforms to the guideline, [n] if the crate does not conform, and [/] if the guideline does not apply to this crate. Each guideline is explained in more detail here. If [n] , please add a brief note on the following line with an explanation. For example:

- [n] Crate name is a palindrome (C-PALINDROME) - rayon backwards is noyar which is not the same as rayon

Cookbook recipes

Cookbook example ideas

Come up with ideas for nice introductory examples of using rayon , possibly in combination with other crates, that would be good to show in the Rust Cookbook. Please leave a comment in that issue with your ideas! You don’t necessarily have to write the example code yourself but PRs are always welcome.

API guideline updates

What lessons can we learn from rayon that will be broadly applicable to other crates? Please leave a comment here with your ideas, or file an issue in the api-guidelines repo.
