https://table.dog https://table.dog (a CLI to download Stripe to SQLite). I considered Node.js, C#. I went with Rust for a few reasons: - Easy to build small portable binaries (as a primary language feature). - The type checker ensures type consistency when writing out to SQL tables (SQLite is loosely typed). Code that reads from the SQLite database implicitly benefits from Rusts strong type checks. - Macros to convert structs to SQL insert/updates. - Reduce the chance of errors at runtime. - Leverage as much as SQLite's write throughput as possible. - When converting Stripes Open API JSON spec into Rust code (using another Node.js program), the Rust type checker ensures I have a well formed HTTP client - the strict compiler makes it a good target for generated programs.
