What it does

are-we-learning-yet is a curated directory that monitors Rust’s machine learning ecosystem. It scrapes metadata from crates.io and GitHub, assigns each crate a generated score, and publishes a static site ranking what’s available. Think of it as a living scorecard rather than a library.

The interesting bit

The project is essentially well-organized glue: a custom scraper caches API responses to avoid rate-limiting, computes ordering scores from fetched crate statistics, and feeds a Cobalt static site generator. The automation is the product.

Key highlights

Static site generated with cobalt.rs and hosted on GitHub Pages
Custom scraper fetches crate metadata from crates.io and the GitHub API
Generates ordering scores from scraped statistics (download counts and stars)
Auto-publishes on every merge and refreshes statistics weekly via GitHub Actions
Requires a GitHub token to avoid API rate limits during data collection

Caveats

The local dev workflow has a manual step: changing crates.yaml does not automatically trigger the scraper during cobalt serve
Data collection depends on external APIs (crates.io, GitHub) and can hit rate limits without a token

Verdict

Worth bookmarking if you’re evaluating Rust for ML or choosing a crate. If you’re looking for an ML framework to import, this is just the map—not the territory.
