ur-rs: A Rust implementation of uniform resources

[dspicher]

I'm happy to announce a Rust implementation of uniform resources:
https://github.com/dspicher/ur-rs

It still has a couple of rough edges (see the open issues), but it already passes all unit tests from the C++ and Swift implementations.

Of course, both feedback and contributions in the form of PRs are highly welcome.

Fantastic!

What other rust-based libraries are you supporting / using with bitcoin apps? We have a rust section in our "Learning Bitcoin from the Command Line" but clearly it is an emerging language platform for Bitcoin, and makes me much happier than Python or Javascript.

Yes, there is a lot of momentum behind Rust for Bitcoin!

The Bitcoin Dev Kit is a very promising crate for wallet functionality: https://github.com/bitcoindevkit/bdk
Another personal favorite of mine is https://github.com/LLFourn/secp256kfun for the educational experience.

I really hope I will also find the time to implement LifeHash in Rust, it's such a cool idea!

Awesome! Very happy to see your Rust implementation of UR and would love to see a Rust implementation of LifeHash as well!
