They have a page in the repo describing some advantages https://github.com/rustic-rs/rustic/blob/main/docs/comparison-restic.md
Looks like the rust-cult is at it again rewriting existing stuff for no gain but pushing rust on others.
Use fd instead of find, or rg instead of grep and tell me there's no gain. The speed increase alone is astounding, and beyond worth it.
Oh shit, will definitely be trying this out. I tend to make wildly overzealous find searches
Wow, people in this thread really have strong opinions about other people writing similar programs in different languages. Who cares? Why is more choice a bad thing?
Q. How do you know an open source project is written in Rust?
A. Don't worry, they'll tell you.
Imagine a world where all these rust devs would write new software instead of manically reimplementing existing software in rust...
Imagine a world where we're all using 30 year old software because it "still kinda works".
restic is 8 years old though
And? I didn't mention restic, nor did the person I was replying to. I was under the impression we were both talking about software being rewritten in Rust in general.
Imagine a world where we're all using 30 year old software because it "still kinda works".
restic is living proof that is neither 30 years old nor "kinda works". It also doesn't suffer from typical memory access problems because it's not written in C.
Given that this whole post is about restic, this felt relevant to point out. You're apparently not talking about rewrites in Rust in general, but rather rewrites in Rust of software the likes on GNU and the Linux kernel.
