Announcement: xflags 3.0.0
Actually, I would say getargs on this one. Full disclosure, I'm a major contributor to the library, but it is also faster than lexopt, and provides a bit more control.
-
Inlining functions that will only ever be called once - is this a good convention?
I have benchmarked getargs to have significant performance gains from inlining.

How do i learn about new crates?
I'd recommend getargs over argparse, it's also very well documented (but that version is not on crates.io yet)

How to parse `strace -c ls -a` using clap?
It pains me that getargs 0.5.0 is still not released yet. If you can deal with a git dependency, I would highly recommend it, it can do exactly what you want with no fuss.

What's everyone working on this week (23/2022)?
I'm currently working on bringing up getargs, which was abandoned on crates.io over 2 years ago. It has an API design that I agree with and I wanted to make it great, so I'm giving it a visit from the PR fairy.

What are legitimate problems with Rust?
If it's perfectly fine then it shouldn't be terribly difficult to write it in a way that the borrow checker is happy with. The problem is reformulating your problem such that it's easy to either annotate the lifetimes in that way or have the compiler infer them for you. And it's made more difficult if your libraries have incorrectly elided lifetimes.

How to parse `strace -c ls -a` using clap?
https://github.com/dtolnay/faketty does something like this successfully using clap.

Cannot capture output from vim using Rust Command?
The first thing I'd do is experiment with dtolnay's faketty utility to to narrow down the source of the problem, since we know it's implemented correctly. (And it's written in Rust with a suitable license so, in the worst case, you can grab code from there... though it does use the nix crate directly, so you'll have unsafe in your codebase if you do that.)

Is there a way to preserve text color codes on piped stdout subprocesses?
