    100%. I use this every day, esp. when editing my music library.

  • vimv script implementation for allowing filename swapping
    2 projects | /r/linuxmasterrace | 3 Feb 2022
    I have written a python script for bunch renaming files using vim from the terminal. It is inspired from a script with the same name https://github.com/ivanmaeder/vimv. But, I have rewritten it from scratch so that it can handle swapping multiple filenames and show error or prompt before removing files. So, swapping multiple lines shouldn't remove files (at least without confirming from user) and should work as intended. At least, that was the aim, which I hope was successful.

    Reminds of the note at the bottom of Fish's releases. It's there because the build system cannot determine the current version for some reason. Hopefully that will go away now that they have switched to a different language / build system. The custom tarball is used by Arch Linux at the very least.

    A recent practical example of the former: the fish shell re-wrote incrementally from C++ to Rust, and is almost finished https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/discussions/10123

    An example of the latter: c2rust, which is a work in progress but is very impressive https://github.com/immunant/c2rust

    It currently translates into unsafe Rust, but the strategy is to separate the "compile C to unsafe Rust" steps and the "compile unsafe Rust to safe Rust" steps. As I see it, as it makes the overall task simpler, allows for more user freedom, and makes the latter potentially useful even for non-transpiled code. https://immunant.com/blog/2023/03/lifting/

    We're using bash as our terminal shell for now (it is standard in many distros) but it is not the only one out there. If you want to test out zsh, fish or oh-my-zsh, you will see that there are a few differences and the features are usually the main differentiator. Try that, poke around.

    They have a variety of reasons to move to rust, as outlined in their original rust discussion[1]. Mostly around finding other contributors, and adding an async/parallel mode they're comfortable with.
