Yeah, the hate for this project is ridiculous. I'm not a professional programmer. I did it just for fun, because I wanted to learn Rust. Some of these tools need someone to fill out some basic functionality, and you probably use some of these tools everyday, so you already know the spec. (FWIW I'd recommend contributing to anyone who is looking for a basic Rust project. It has a very welcoming project leadership.)
And, yes, so-called "free concurrency" ended up being an incredible performance story, although, full disclosure, I/we were just able to use rayon in many places because Rust is just that composable.
- podiki 5y agoSorry if that came off as "hate" or being dismissive, did not intend it that way! Just genuinely curious given the difficulties I'm seeing on the distro side around Rust packaging, at least for Guix that goes from source in a reproducible/bootstrapable way (which seems very difficult beyond x86-64).
- mustache_kimono 5y agoOh, not at all! I'm sorry I gave that impression. I was referring to uutils, and, more particularly, some folks (GPL advocates) who are disappointed about the choice of license (MIT). See, for example: https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues/2757 https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues/2757
