    That looks like a bunny is twerking it’s rear end. Someone, please cleanse my wretched mind.

      That’s great, thanks! I’ll look into submitting it to the official homebrew tap sometime, and get back to you.

      Absolutely.

      Well, in all seriousness, I don’t think so. But I do think that Rust rewrites are generally good since they usually end up producing a higher-quality program which is significantly faster (this is pretty important to me).

      Of course, there’s no point rewriting everything in Rust, since Rust’s benefits obviously don’t apply to anything.

      I think one of the best things about Rust is that it can be used to write basically anything (at least, this is what the extent of the Rust ecosystem leads me to believe), from web apps and CLI tools to, I don’t know, kernels. That’s probably why there are so many Rust rewrites. People actually do write a variety of programs in Rust, and from what I can tell said variety is way bigger than in most other languages.

        Eh, I think a lot of it is right tool for the right job. I see Rust being used in a lot of places it doesn’t make sense. As a C replacement sure, go for it. CLi apps… Okay I guess? I’ve just seen folks build stuff just as good with GoLang or much faster with Python. I think there is a very vocal group of Rust devs in the FOSS space, which I think makes a lot of folks think it’s more popular then it really is, especially in a professional setting.
