System information fetcher, written in Rust. Contribute to grtcdr/macchina development by creating an account on GitHub.

It’s called Macchina, and at first sight, it appears as a Neofetch clone, and that first impression is kind of on point. But, I’m trying to offer things Neofetch does not, like speed (because it’s written in Rust) and other cool little features!

    Hell yeah a rust-based alt for neo-fetch! Nice job, I bet this was a great learning project too.

      Thanks a lot! I was very afraid the community might lash out because there’s already hundreds of fetchers out there, but it really did start as a learning project, and I’m enjoying it a lot, Rust really is as awesome as they say!

        Ya, a lot of people rag on the “rewrite everything in rust” meme, but obvi I think its a really good goal (otherwise I wouldn’t have started lemmy), and these are great learning projects.

          I hope the meme never dies haha! Also, I didn’t realize I was talking to Lemmy’s creator, I gotta say, this website works and feels really nice! The load times put reddit to shame, and the ability to theme, is also amazing!

          Thank you so much! I’m doing the best I can to keep them as low as possible because Macchina runs every time I open my terminal, and I can’t have anything slowing it down.
