I don't get along very well with the HN Rust Community (and I think I'm even less popular with them than they are with me), but fair is fair and the Rust folks have been absolutely revolutionizing the modern terminal experience.

Put differently, I take the opposite view: seeing that a piece of terminal kit is written in Rust gives me a quite high Bayesian prior on the quality and usefulness of the tool. Something like 70% of the command-line nix packages in my home manager are written in Rust.

I maintain clap, the most common CLI parser for Rust. When soliciting feedback on changing some of the `--help` formatting, a piece of a feedback I got from a couple of people was some of the distinctive look told the reader it was written in Rust and using clap and "that means a certain baseline of quality and behaviour".
