Tell HN: Rust Is the Superglue

• ripgrep

  352 45,666 9.2 Rust

  ripgrep recursively searches directories for a regex pattern while respecting your gitignore

Maybe it hasn't "really panned out" because you're making up your own stories. For example:

> Or look at things like ripgrep and what not, just trying to replace some of the common GNU coreutils, POSIX command-line things you expect a system to have.

This is just not true. I never made ripgrep to replace grep. And you acting like it not being a drop-in replacement being a mistake suggests you're totally missing the point. See: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/blob/master/FAQ.md#pos...

The goal isn't "C++ has to literally die." That's just dumb. It is not going to die in the lifetime of anyone alive today no matter what anyone does.

• llama-node

  2 850 8.6 Rust

  Believe in AI democratization. llama for nodejs backed by llama-rs, llama.cpp and rwkv.cpp, work locally on your laptop CPU. support llama/alpaca/gpt4all/vicuna/rwkv model.

  

You can practice your Rust skills by writing performant and/or gluey extensions for higher-level language such as NodeJS (checkout napi-rs) and Python or complementing JS in the browser if you target Webassembly.

For instance, checkout Llama-node https://github.com/Atome-FE/llama-node for an involved Rust-based NodeJS extension. Python has PyO3, a Rust-Python extension toolset: https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3.

They can help you leverage your Rust for writing cool new stuff.
