I'm not taking anything away from, Rust, it is a great language for CLI developer tooling. But in fairness you'll find a plethora of tooling written in all popular languages these days. This is also true for a great deal of "uncool" languages too, like Perl.
I also think newer languages benefit from the fact that CLI developer tooling is a great "hello world" type project to work on. Such projects solve a very real problem that someone starting out in that language wants to solve, while also often being simple enough problem to learn that language in.
- YeBanKo 3y agoI don’t see many useful cli tools written in Java.
- hnlmorg 3y agoI don’t work much in Java-land these days, but there definitely were plenty of CLI tools when I did.
- emj 3y agoI've used plenty of java cli tools for batch processes that takes ages to run, having something launch fast or run interactively is a different story. No hate on java the jvm is just not that fast launching.
