Replacements for existing software written in Rust
I get the point of wanting to use safer languages but I feel this list somewhat misses the point and looks more like some misguided worship to a single language. For example a lot of complaints that can be made about C and C++ don’t apply to Haskell yet this list parades a Rust counterpart to Shellcheck as if it’s automatically better just by the fact it’s written in Rust (frankly, I’d rather trust the more mature Shellcheck).<p>And a lot of those projects are just someone’s pet project, often written as a task for learning Rust, and certainly likely to have numerous new bugs that haven’t yet been found just by virtue of being a ground up rewrite.<p>As I said, I’m fully in favour of using newer and safer languages but we need to be careful not to get carried away with thinking anything new is better simply because it’s new.
