After watching this video, I’m tempted to give it a try myself. The idea of swapping out traditional CLI tools for Rust-based alternatives is intriguing, and I’m curious to know if anyone has undertaken such an endeavor.

I’m also on the lookout for dotfiles that primarily feature configurations for Rust tools. I find it both educational and entertaining to explore other people’s configurations. I stumbled upon this repository, but I’m interested in discovering more if possible.

    If the current tools work fine, have decades of historic support and battle testing, and the alternatives offer little to no net benefit, uhh, why?

      Battle hardened > new

      Unless the new has a killer feature set worth the trade off in potential bugs

        I think that’s fair.

        Eventually, the Rust-alternatives will be battle-hardened too and we can simply choose what suits us best.

        It’s a good time for software, honestly.
