Role in this project:Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:6 commits, 6 PRs, 6 comments in 14 days
Contributions summary:Cedric primarily worked on implementing and refactoring core functionalities of the `hecs` ECS library. They utilized macros extensively to generate tuple implementations for queries and bundles, optimizing the library's internal structure. Furthermore, the user refactored the code to replace `hashbrown` with `fxhash`, enabling support for `#no_std`, and added initial support for the `#no_std` environment. These changes enhance the library's flexibility and compatibility with diverse environments.
