# Crate of the Week
This week, Crate of the Week is [Itertools](https://github.com/bluss/rust-itertools). Thanks go to [llogiq](https://github.com/llogiq) for the suggestion. In his own words:
> So today I'll write about [Itertools](https://github.com/bluss/rust-itertools). Because iterators in Rust are awesome, and this crates makes them even awesome-r. If you want to do something with iterators that seems to be slightly impossible using the `std` APIs, chances are Itertools already implements a way that is both fast and elegant. Knowing your itertools APIs will level up your Rust-fu.
>
> For a (very small and simple) example, haven't you wished to zip two iterators, but don't stop iteration after the shorter iterator has run out? With Itertools you can just say `x.zip_longest(y)` and get an iterator of `EitherOrBoth<X, Y>`.
# Quote of the Week

Thanks to [birkenfeld](https://users.rust-lang.org/users/birkenfeld) for the tip. [Submit your quotes for next week][submit]!
