Absolutely.

Well, in all seriousness, I don’t think so. But I do think that Rust rewrites are generally good since they usually end up producing a higher-quality program which is significantly faster (this is pretty important to me).

Of course, there’s no point rewriting everything in Rust, since Rust’s benefits obviously don’t apply to anything.

I think one of the best things about Rust is that it can be used to write basically anything (at least, this is what the extent of the Rust ecosystem leads me to believe), from web apps and CLI tools to, I don’t know, kernels. That’s probably why there are so many Rust rewrites. People actually do write a variety of programs in Rust, and from what I can tell said variety is way bigger than in most other languages.

Nah, no way. :)

This probably isn't the answer you're looking for, but vpr being memory-safe isn't a benefit that it has over rm, since rm apparently doesn't allocate any memory (as @[email protected] wrote).

the first thing you mentioned as a benefit was memory safety.

Looks like I worded my project description poorly. As I wrote in another comment, I meant that this alternative is memory-safe (being written in safe Rust), but not that rm isn't.

edit: I've updated the post's title to clear things up

I guess vpr -x would be memory-safe that way then. ;)

I don't know whether rm is memory-safe or not, but vpr is. By 'memory-safe alternative' I meant that this alternative is memory-safe, but not that rm isn't.

Gitea supports migrating from a variety of sources, but I'm not sure about a bot that does everything in one click or so. You could probably make a simple script for that, though.

Matrix/Element isn’t an alternative.

Why not?

And, what about Revolt?

Nope - it's my own.

Right now, you'd need to install Neovim packages through home-manager to get anything working, though.

But it’s still possible to give an estimate knowing a little bit about the hardware, right?

Happy to hear that you like it :)

Go for it! It's pretty simple but does help teach a few things.

That's great, thanks! I'll look into submitting it to the official homebrew tap sometime, and get back to you.
