    Rust enthusiast here. These are some other amazing rust tools:
    - zoxide (smart replacement for cd)
    - hexyl (nice hex viewer)
    - nomino (batch renaming)
    - sd (intuitive string find+replace tool)
    - du-dust (disk usage analyzer)
    - eva (cmd calculator replacement for bc)
    and there are many more :D

    The biggest reason for ripgrip (rg) wasn't mentioned: speed. When it comes to recursive searches, rg absolutely destroys stock grep. It's way, way faster. It's also clever: that pretty output that it does to make it more human readable only occurs when it knows the output is the terminal. If you pipe the rg results to anything else, it knows that and switches to the more typical line-by-line response.

    I am a Sr Software Engineer who does know Rust. Rust is a "immutability first" language. Often times the reasons vulnerabilities in code occur is due almost exclusively to mutable data in memory that's getting modified in real-time by other software trying to take advantage of the memory exploits. Rust makes mitigating this a first-class citizen. Which means, if immutability principles are followed, the amount of vulnerabilities will naturally fewer and, when they do occur, much less likely to have downstream effects, while being more easily maintained.
    Rust as an amazing system-level language. It is a C-level language. Other languages based on Rust are coming down the line at some point. NodeJS linked-libraries are being written in Rust as well as Web Asslembly. Web Assembly is a compile target of Rust for web applications.
    Rust has a TON to offer the software community.

      That said, Rust *does* help to give the compiler backend more freedom to do stuff like that by making stronger promises about how things will behave. (And, as such, it'd also be more amenable than C or C++ to automatic insertion of calls like mprotect.)

    Go and Rust are popular modern systems programming languages for a reason. Built in build systems, package management, and testing suites lead to building robust fast reliable software very quickly. Just look at how fast the Pop!Os team can pump out really good systems level software with some of the best runtime safety in the game. Go routines provide a revolutionary way to implement concurrency. So many benefits behind these languages. They also lack all the "history" and backwards compatibility bloat issues that languages like C++ have. Referring to these languages as "memes" merely shows a drastic misunderstanding of what they accomplish.

    Ignoring the discussion c/c++ vs rust, the problem I have with these rewrites is that they often change the default behavior and interface. There most probably is a reason why tools behave the way they do, even if you as a user don't understand or know it. cat, ls, find, ... are all POSIX standard utilities the system and a lot of software relies on that you simply cannot mess with. You want to reimplement gnu or standard utils? Fine, but retain default behavior and the interface. Otherwise, do not advertise them as replacements, bc they are not. They are alternatives, but not replacements.

If they do not behave exactly the same, they are not interchangeable and thus not replacements. Also you should care about standards like POSIX because they guarantee interoperability and portability. But then again, if people do not understand the crucial importance of stable APIs and interfaces, and why there have to be reliant contracts for IPC, then they shouldn't program essential tools or services in the first place. Changing well-known, reliant and expected behavior, just for the sake of being different and promoting one self's ego (I know better, I do it my way), will break systems and make maintaining interoperability between processes a nightmare.

    the most basic features from the 1960s
    these features allow you describe low level stuff
    C is basically a template language for good programming patterns in ASM
    but this comes without safety and is prone to produce all sorts of damage like segfaults
    Rust is a programming language with
    sophisticated features from different languages
    including Programming Language Theory (research)
    including the experience of the last 30 years in the industry and lessons learned in C++
    also allows you to describe low level stuff
    its memory model protects you from segfaults without producing any runtime dependency (due to that ivory tower research that hackers tend to despise)

    I ve got an off topic question, as you are using the ergodox. There is something like the zsa moonlander have you ever heard of it if yes is it likely that you would give it a try if the one you currently got for example broke?

    • @edakimling133
      @edakimling133 3 роки тому

      There are quite a decent number of reviews now. One guy even specializes in it. Just search for ergodox vs moonlander. A british guy did a fantastic review of both. There are some major differences, and I mean really significant to consider. I would tend to say moonlander si better, but ergodox also has ome points going for it. It depends what you want. I ordered my moonlander a week ago. Still 1 month to go till I receive it.
      Major differences I found: moonlander is more compact; better for travel. The thumb area swivels, this is more ergonomic and also allows for adjustment for smaller/bigger hands. Thumb area has better key redesign. Moonlander has RGB on every single key; not so on ergodox. Lot of keys do not have RGB. RGB is thicker, more robust and also since thumb area does not pivot, it has 1 less point of breakage in the hinges. In fact the reviewer in the youtube video I mentioned - his hinge on the thumb pad broke. Could have been a defect though. Moonlander uses type c cable (not that big deal though). Exterior row on each side has keys that are less wide on the moonlander, bringing the center point where you press closer to your finger, which could be important. These are some major highlights. Cost is the same. It was here, on DT video I learned of the ergodox and subsequently bought the moonlander! Super excited.

    Rust is basically C++ with an extremely strict compiler with far improved error messaging for developers. Rust is focused on avoiding bad security practices. You cannot compile code that has glaring security problems. It will stop and force you to fix your code and it Is pretty good about giving you a meaningful error message for the compile failure. Rust is far more opinionated and security focused than C++ which allows a developer to do whatever they want without much complaint, providing it compiles. Rust will stop someone from compiling bad code. Rust won't remove all security issues but it covers the big ones that are most common among most security exploits. This is why there is so much talk about using Rust for systems programming such as an OS kernel. Linux is looking to allow device drivers to be written in Rust. But that isn't the only reason to choose Rust for any development project. It's a very nice language and that compiler still gives you much better feedback when a compile fails. Lots of people have been dipping their toes into Rust and that is why there are so many nifty Rust programs. Rust programs can be highly performant.

    For example on C++ is a best practice to mark every variable as «const» or «constexpr» unless you need it to change while on Rust variables are «const» by default and you only need to mark them as «mut» when you need it.

    I got curious about how exa performed, so I timed it and it just crashed when I did it. Too bad. Really doubt that it would be better than BusyBox ls, so it's fine, I guess.

      Better not say that. Rust people think their language is flawless and that Rust programs can't crash. You are going to shatter many people's worldview with statements like this. At least for the moment. By mid-2021, 82% of all those who claim Rust is the ultimate language will have found something new and moved on.

    Replacing ls for exa, or grep for rg I think it's ok, but find for fd for me it's not advisable, I'll forget the syntax of the original, and every other computer or server you use will have the original find, not fd

      @@edakimling133 No. fd and find have different arguments by design. My point was that his "I'll forget find's syntax" argument only holds true if you're masochistic enough to not have already wrapped `find` in convenient shortcuts for the common cases.
      ...and if you *have* already made shortcuts, you might as well use `fd` since there's a better chance everyone will be using the same shortcuts.

    Rust language would be my top choice for a programming language to be stranded on a desert island with a laptop and solar powered battery recharger - if could have only one language choice. It's intrinsically versatile enough to be applied to about any programming domain - with Web Assembly support, could even be used to write programs that run in the browser. And presumably being stranded on said island, would have plenty of time to master its borrow checker and annotations - and the cool kids stuff like pattern matching and other functional programming features. And finally get around to learning how to write macros in its powerful macro sub-language.
