[][Rapier]

[Rapier] is a new set of 2D and 3D physics engines written 100% in Rust.

It is 5 to 10 times faster than [nphysics], close to the performances of the

CPU version of PhysX, and often slightly faster than Box2D.

[For its first release][rapier-august] Rapier includes:

- rigid-body dynamics;

- colliders and sensors;

- joint constraints;

- optional serialization of the physics state;

- optional cross-platform determinism on IEEE-754 compliant targets;

- optional explicit SIMD and parallelism.

- JavaScript bindings with official NPM packages.

This new physics engine is developed by the recently created [Dimforge]

single-member Open-Source company [replacing][dimforge-replace] the former

Rustsim organization created on GitHub by [@sebcrozet].
