...and not just for performance-heavy stuff or embedded development, but for shell scripts...

WHAT

[–] 5C5C5C@programming.dev 31 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Honestly yes. If I need to manipulate the filesystem or manage processes with any amount of conditional logic or looping, I'd much rather do it with Rust than shell scripts.

The only thing I use shell scripts for anymore is completely trivial sequences of commands.

As someone who uses a lot of shell scripts and learning Rust, do tell more.
