Or “no”. Depending on how you look at it :p

Not op, but I feel the same as them.

Compared to C++, Rust has a very good toolchain and libraries. With C++ setting up a project that has dependencies is… painful. I’m a full-time C++ programmer with over 8 years of experience and if I didn’t have to, I would never choose it for something new.

With Rust creating a new project and adding dependencies is trivial. There are a lot of great libraries and the ease with which you can use them is very empowering.
Clap and serde are super powers for CLI programs 😀

For smaller scripts that don’t yet “deserve” full rust treatment, I now use nushell for personal projects.

Cool, I did encounter both of their trouble examples

I’m switching to it slowly. I used fish on linux and powershell on windows. I want to be able to use the same shell on both systems and prefer not to rely on microsoft. I feel that data based shells like powershell and nu are the future :)

That’s good. It means the platform is growing :P

Why when explaining, giving examples of shell command are people so often providing shortened arguments. It makes it all seam like some random letters you have to remeber by heart. Instead of -x just write --extract. If in the end they endup using the tool so often they need to write it fast they’ll check the shortcuts.

Making your own engine is worthwhile learning experience. The same as trying to recreate any of the foundational tools that you use. Might not be the fastest or best way to make a game but a good way to make yourself a better developer.

Author of the PR made it opt-out. I think it may be enough of the compromise for the maintainer.

I never saw anything about 2022 survey, and I do use Rust at work and follow the news around it.

Good points about advantages of TUI. I think the keyboard focus and speed is what often sells me on them. There’s no reason a good GUI couldn’t have those but the moment your user has access to mouse you get lazy on the keyboard part and much was said already about big GUI frameworks/ecosystems and their impact on performance.
