What? new CLI utilities are not in rust?

And yes it's very useful, can do more than pax-util's lddtree(libtree can help packaging your binary with all its libraries in one package), just installed and looks great.



Please don't do this. There is nothing that says CLI utilities (or any other programs for that matter) HAVE to be written in Rust.

This type of comment puts me off Rust, slowly but surely.


It is a huge assumption to think the parent comment was from anyone in the Rust community. It could be a Rust hater.


I took the comment as a jest.


It is just a harmless joke, sorry if it offends anyone.

I use a lot of rust CLI tools myself and love them. Meanwhile I also do c++ coding. they complement each other well.


If some bad apples in a community (every community has them) can make you give up on a technology then you never actually considered it in the first place.


I doubt that the grandparent is a Rust developer.


Where are you seeing rust? Or is this just tongue in cheek?


sorry, typo, forgot 'not' there
