CLI tools written in Rust language
by Michael Madden
Let's explore some command line tools written in Rust and walk through some typical
workflows.
Many of these tools can augment common Linux/macOS command line tools.
The content will be taken from this repository,

Many of these tools have similar, attractive themes:
Speed
Reasonable defaults
Active development

So, just a quick peek at the 1st 4 gives...
bandwhich =
display current network utilization by process, connection and remote IP/hostname
bat =
A cat(1) clone with Git integration and supports syntax highlighting for a large number of
programming and markup languages. It’s comparable to:

highlight <http://www.andre-simon.de/doku/highlight/highlight.php>
ccat <https://github.com/jingweno/ccat>
source-highlight <https://www.gnu.org/software/src-highlite/>

rouge <https://github.com/jneen/rouge>
lesspipe <https://github.com/wofr06/lesspipe>
vimpager <https://github.com/rkitover/vimpager>
Broot =
A better way (than ls) to navigate directories
DUST = an easy way to see where my disk is being used. Comparable to:
NCDU <https://dev.yorhel.nl/ncdu>
dutree <https://github.com/nachoparker/dutree>
du -d 1 -h | sort -h
gdu.
(As time & interests demand, we may also touch on the “Language of the Month Club”
aspects of “Why writing these in Rust.”)
Presenter:
