I didn't know they were written in Rust

Relatively recently I revamped my terminal/shell tools with modern ones and I've been enjoying those good tools of course.

You may find the trace here

And for the past week, my interests in Rust and WebAssembly were growing and I've been trusting more and more about what Rust is aiming for. Rust seems to provide lots of goodies but what I care mostly from a user's perspective are speed (the performance) and stability (memory safety) as resulting programs.

So I've been slowly starting to learning and practicing and exploring Rust and just now I was looking through what good example Rust code are out there and I easily found rg, bat, fd which I liked a lot to replace older similar tools.

And even though fzf (which is one of my favorite tools) wasn't written in Rust but in Go which is also a modern language being used in system programming too.

And of course, there seem to be a ton of others more.

These good examples of good applications give me even more good impressions for Rust. So I think I will keep on "Rusting" and you may catch me in action here, for now.
