Yea, not sure what “written in rust” adds to this. I would have thought that you could get the same functionality with a few shell scripts and a package.json.


I assume speed.

But also, I know “rewrite in Rust” is a meme but if you’re doing something new, why not? I can’t see a good argument that a pile of shell scripts would be a superior way to organise things.
