It’s pretty crazy isn’t it. Things like this are fun as pet projects but the stuff of nightmares in real codebase that need supporting for years and by a department that will have the usual churn of staff.

I’ve managed enough teams and enough code bases in my time to know that sometimes the smartest code is the least clever. If someone if finding the need to write a shell script in Rust then I’d suggest they need to re-evaluate the problem they’re trying to solve.
