From the readme, to preempt the moaning: "I just like collecting imaginary internet points, in the form of little stars, that people seem to give to me whenever I embark on pointless quests for rewriting X thing, but in Rust."
OK? Just don't. Let us have this. :)
- galangalalgol 4y agoI like the tag, because I wouldn't read the story otherwise. Any time someone ports something to rust the story is usually interesting. Sometimes good interesting, sometimes bad interesting. I don't enjoy reading about ports to Go. It is almost always uneventful. Some more performance perhaps, didn't take long. Wasn't too hard. Stubbed my toe on the error checking etc. With rust, even if the port itself was easy, and the performance gains were minimal, there is usually some bit about a weird error rust found in the old code base, or how the borrow checker ate their baby and everyone panicked, but then everything was fine. It isn't rust specific, I'd similarly like to know if someone rewrote something in haskell or austral, or lisp. Not because of the languages, but because they make good stories.

- _nalply 4y agoSometimes I program something just out of fun. I designed a minimal binary and textual serializing format because why not? I didn't even complete the software because it got too tedious and the fun disappeared. I didn't publish anything. These are bytes sitting in my laptop and on some backup git repositories on a github clone. And yet, sometimes I reopen the repository and reread my own code like it's a book. I am weird.
