 ## Library & Tooling Updates
 
+### [rkyv]
+
+[rkyv] is a zero-copy deserialization framework for Rust. It's similar to
+FlatBuffers and Cap'n Proto and can be used for data storage and messaging.
+
+It has a handful of features that make it stand out:
+
+- No schema restrictions
+- HashMap support out of the box
+- Trait object support through the [`rkyv_dyn`] crate
+- Validation through the [`bytecheck`] crate, suitable for untrusted and
+potentially malicious data
+- Safe mutable archives with pinning
+
+Reddit user [vlmutolo] also made a [toy benchmark] comparing rkyv against serde
+and bincode and found that rkyv had promising initial numbers:
+
+```text
+serialize (bincode):    89 ns/iter
+serialize (rkyv):       86 ns/iter
+
+deserialize (bincode):  118 ns/iter
+deserialize (rkyv):     16 ns/iter
+```
+
+A write-up on the [architecture and internals of rkyv] is also available.
