After watching this video, I’m tempted to give it a try myself. The idea of swapping out traditional CLI tools for Rust-based alternatives is intriguing, and I’m curious to know if anyone has undertaken such an endeavor.

I’m also on the lookout for dotfiles that primarily feature configurations for Rust tools. I find it both educational and entertaining to explore other people’s configurations. I stumbled upon this repository, but I’m interested in discovering more if possible.

    Note that skim performs worse than fzf. There’s a new matcher in Rust called nucleo which is faster, but it currently doesn’t have a cli and can only be used inside Helix editor (hx)

    nu is probably the best shell for ad-hoc data processing, handling all my daily needs in one expression.

    fd and rg have another thing in common, that they’re both 50% shorter than their traditional alternatives /s

      fd is pretty cool. It offers a good simplification over find’s syntax. find -name "*file*" vs fd file. rg I don’t use often except for colorized output. A lot of Nvim plugins also prefer to use ripgrep over grep.
