What are you rewriting in rust?
But I'd suggest joining an existing project instead. This week in Rust has a call for participation section each week. There are also some exciting rewrites like arti, gitoxide, fish, and a steady stream of projects announced in this sub.
- [Gitoxide in May]: Greater pack resolution performance and the beginnings of negotiation algorithms
- [Gitoxide in April] A first step towards `gix status` and `.gitattributes` matching
- Idiomatic, lean, fast and safe pure Rust implementation of Git
- [Gitoxide in March]: `cargo` shallow clones PR and `gitoxide` in `cargo` nightly

What other tools do you use to help you do GIS?
Whiteboxtools. Very fast and powerful. Works nice for hydrology and LiDAR. Good interface to Python as well.

What CLI tool will blow your mind? (written in rust)
WhiteboxTools (https://www.whiteboxgeo.com/) is a CLI tool that is about 500,000 lines of Rust (https://github.com/jblindsay/whitebox-tools) and is used for geospatial analysis in all kinds of industries. Most people use one of the many front-ends for it though (e.g. the QGIS plugin), so as to avoid the CLI, but at the most basic level, it's just a CLI. (Note, I'm the author of this tool, and so a little biased.)

WhiteboxTools v2.1 now released
We are pleased to announce the release of WhiteboxTools Open-Core v2.1 today. WhiteboxTools is an open-source platform for advanced geospatial analysis, and is used for GIS, remote sensing, lidar, hydrology, geomorphology, and many other data processing areas. This release includes new functionality and enhancements, including new tools for the calculation of various surface curvatures, multi-scale land surface parameter calculation, and the popular Geomorphons landform classification method. You may download the WhiteboxTools open-core here. Updated tool description files for the QGIS front-end, which include all of the new tools featured in this release, are available from here (see bottom of page). For more information about usage, please see the user manual.
