    Setting Aliases because I can’t remember the new ones

    I got a buddy who switched to EndeavourOS after using Linux Mint for about a year, He said he was too lazy to learn pacman/yay so he spent an hour making fake apt aliases, I forgot what happened but after a while he gave up on it and just got use to pacman.

    I love it because software written in rust tends to be straight up better. because it makes it so easy to make your code parallel, because it makes it easy to be user friendly by design, people actually go that extra mile. because it’s so easy to pull in a dependency to do something you’d be too lazy to do in C, the tools can get a bit big but they tend to work really well. I’ll take a rust CLI app over a python CLI script any day, and I’ll especially take it over software written in C. most people don’t care as long as the tool works, but you can definitely feel the difference of the language it’s written in in its design and performance.

      Good software can come from almost any language, but yeah there’s just something about rust CLI tools. I’ve pretty much always had issues with incorrect file type associations on Linux, until I started using handlr. exa (or eza?) is great too. Just like ls but better in every way.

    I feel the same way about Haskell. Every program I’ve used is either a “Look at what else Haskell can do!” example, or an endorsement of universal packages whenever I have to update 200 haskell modules.

      ↑ This. Haskell makes it super easy to get good CLI filters. All you need to do is interact and process the string it gives you. You’ll automatically get streaming behavior because of laziness without lifting a finger.

          interact is (StringString) → IO (), a function that takes a StringString (a function that takes a string and returns a string) and returns an I/O operation (which is a separate type since Haskell doesn’t have side-effects). The function you give it will receive all of stdin as a string and its output will be stdout. The magic comes because Haskell uses cons-lists that are lazy in their spine — the list doesn’t actually exist until you look at it. This means that, from your perspective (probably not how this is actually implemented), the list you return is iterated character-by-character, and each character that gets printed only waits for the characters it needs, allowing the rest of the stdin list to remain unevaluated.

      Rust is heresy. Everything should be mutable, the way that God intended it to be!

      Seriously though as someone who has mainly done embedded work for decades and got used to constrained environments, the everything is immutable paradigm seems clunky and inelegant. I don’t want to copy everything all the time.

      Now if you’ll excuse me, these null pointers aren’t going to dereference themselves

        Yeah. Putting my old man crankiness aside, for a moment, I adore goLang. GoLang is like having a youngest grandchild. It can do whatever it wants and I’ll praise it.

          I literally learned it over a one week vacation. The only other language that comes close to being that easy to learn is Python. I often tell folks, if C and Python had a baby, it would be GoLang.
