Your Command Line, Oxidised

"It's written in rust" is like saying something positive about jesus to a christian. It creates this warm but completely irrational feeling of a common belief that it must be good. But as someone who doesn't use rust and doesn't really care about rust, it really leaves a funny taste on the tongle if all these things have some references to "rust" to one true holy language in the world in it.

Imma fungizide my life

Lot of these flew over my head since I don't do much coding (although I've been starting to learn Rust now that finals are over as a fun side project) but the pomodoro tool is really neat! Used to use it a bunch in first year through some browser tool but having it in the terminal is a lot more convenient, plus I love the minimalist aesthetic.

You need to make a part two to this video. Have you heard about Typst?

i'm surprised nobody has mentioned cargo install atuin, very shell history that works with zsh, bash, and fish

you're awesome

8 month passed, and coreutils still sucks, doesn't even compile when installing the last 3 version from crate (0.0.23-20)

exa is abandoned. use eza instead.

exa is no longer maintained and replace bei eza

Does anyone know how the code in his videos has multiple characters like == or => combine into one unicode character? Is it a common extension or do you have to use a particular text editor?

Wow. Hadn’t heard of most of these and I’m a 30 plus year Linux user. I’ll definitely check these out

when trying to avoid the browser, how do you deal with pull requests and issues?

Tris, have you noticed that exa is deprecated? There's a revival called eza, though.

You forgot Helix.

Theres also Leftwm, a window manager written in rust

Have you tried Wezterm? It’s like alacritty and zellij wrapped into 1. Configured in lua so it feels like nvim to customize and workspace/ domain sessions.

Also atuin is a great multi-pc nushell history manager.

I'm not exactly a terminal person but I find some of these would be useful, especially sccache and bacon. Thanks for the video!

Damn, with this video i was really getting hyped up to get into learning Rust and use al these programs, but just found out about all the polemic that it is involved and i may just hold a little before getting into it, or not

Normally, when I listen this speech about a whole new set of tools, I'm defensive (like lots of Linux users). But I tested Zellij and meeeeen I'm sold to this trend 100%. I'm revising, open minded, every tool that was part of my day to day for years. Why not? Why staying static? The stability cannot become a comfort zone that doesn't allow improvement. Glad for this new set of tools!

Just to point out.
The video says all tools featured in this support every OS and Arch.
Exa does not support Windows. Only Unix and Linux OS's
Zellij claims to support windows but they havnt had a successful build for windows in a while because they are using an outdated NTAPI.

Hi, I am using exa, dust, sccache, but bat and zellij are not downloading at last moments of compilation some error occurs and I am not being able to solve them. Can someone provde some help I really want to use bat and zellij. I am installing with RUSTC_WRAPPER=sccache cargo insatll {package}. Thank You.

I love how you talk. Your enthusiasm gets me to try anything you are showing off.

THANK YOU

Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I tested it out and nu shell's structured capabilities don't work with exa. I do like the --header option with exa but nu shell basically does the same thing

I've never written a line of code in rust.. but i've played with other languages. How dubious would it be to start making the switch to a rusty life?

`cargo install tealdeer`

With a video title like that, I think there is something you ought to know: The Rust language doesn't take its name from iron oxide (at least not directly), it takes its name from a mushroom. So it's not about oxidizing, it's about fungifying.

Is sccache really worth it? what's your 'sccache --show-stats' output? For me it saves 0s on average (but also only costs 0.0.1s for writing so it's not like it slows anything down either).

I have already used exa. But ll is aliased to 'ls -alhF --group-directories-first' for me enough.
eee is aliased to 'exa -laFT --group-directories-first -L2' looks nice.
Also using ripgrep as part of vim setup with fzf.
Really like gitui. Missing part to migrate to terminal finally.

People update your software! There's cargo install-update which is a plugin to cargo.

There's this package called "binstall" which speeds up installation by a hundred times as it prevents downloading and building all the dependencies and simply downloads the binary of the package that you need,

1) lsd: I prefer it over exa because it's more compatible with ls. 'exa' have incompatible switches with the built-in ls (like -alrt).
2) tokei is a source code analyzer and display stats.
3) ferris-says : cowsay replacement
4) starship : shell prompt
5) oxipng : png optimizer
6) procs : ps replacement
7) hyperfine : benchmark tool
8) hexyl : hex viewer command line

I don't know Rust

on Garuda, cat is replaced with bat by default (and the default terminal is alacritty); I was always confused why using cat on Garuda outputted syntax highlighting and now I know why lol

god cargo is such a garbage system-wide package manager

The only thing is it is sad that it takes so much work to get something nice, and by that I mean someone like you has done all the work to go find out a way that works well.
I can already see people in the comments talking about: VsCode, Neovim, Helix, Lapce. I get a tad overwhelmed and have to make executive decisions in what to pick up and what to stay away from, but it's nice to see the choices.

I use Neovim for my development for around a year now, but there are painpoints I'm having that I will need time to solve, particularly in debugging Angular projects and having the editor look and feel the same across my three operating systems (Fedora Linux at work.. Windows 11 at home.. MacOS for my personal creational development that isn't in high resource usage category..)

Zellij has been such a game changer for me. I was about to switch over to Emacs since Tmux felt so clunky to me.

Haven’t seen a plug for topgrade yet. While some will want to be more deliberate with reviewing their updates, I’m super happy to have a one-button tool that does most everything.

Not sure what the RUSTC_WRAPPER means in part 0. Does it require me to assign an environment variable? Is there another way to configure it? Also get to installing starship and it doesn't build for me.

My laptop runs out of memory trying to compile sccache

Hi. I'm new to this programming game and am slowly learning C. May I ask why you choose Rust over C if this is the case? Thank you. Steve. Bulgaria.

Wezterm is what I use in my daily driver

Ok the tmux replacements got me

Rust isn't fastest ❤ close though

If there’s any video that makes me ABSOLUTELY want to learn rust, this is it. I’m going full on run Saturdays Sundays now.

Rust is indeed nice. Unfortunately, the organizations that take care of it haven't been doing themselves any favors. It honestly makes me hesitant, especially all of the trademark crud. Would love a fork compatible with the ecosystem that isn't branded around iron oxide or crabs or fungi.

A someone who is only starting out in software development, I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about half the time haha
