My 2023 Terminal, Shell and Command-Line Toolbox
A lot of the tools in the post build on top of standard unix tools and are like for like (better) replacements. Many of them have been pulled from the Modern Unix repo on Github.

TIL you can do `cat -n file` to easily see line numbers when looking at a file
Plug to modern unix, a collection of utilities that modernize "standard" nix utilities (combination of faster, prettier, easier to use, as well as sensible defaults like highlighting and line numbers when not piped).

What are some things you can do in the terminal for entertainment?
I google something like "Modern Unix", open blogs, and try to find a "life-changing" tool that I haven't tried yet. Then I spend 1 day reading man how to apply this unreal tool to my current work environment setup. Ultimately, I'm sad because I wasted 1 day, but the process is fun enough to do it again tomorrow. This is like distro-hopping but tool-hopping. Now I have fzf, bat, helix, zoxide etc, but that's just the beginning of my tool-hopping :)

erdtree: A modern, multi-threaded, and ️🌈aesthetic️🌈 alternative to tree and du - v1.7.0 release ️
While this is not at all comprehensive of all the cool tools out there, there's this list which has a lot of modern alternatives to all of the modern Unix commands we know and love, most of which are written in Rust.

LeanCreator - a lean, cross-platform, single file IDE for C/C++
Yeah, fine, since Go and Rust it is common to have this "one file app" that you put in $PATH and call it a day. Now, how many of those are not a single CLI utility (e.g. a replacement for top/ls/du or other UNIX utility), and are full blown GUI app? Not so many. None that I can think of from the top of my head, actually.

I use this Rust clone which works great, no complaints: https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide
Although, I don't know what the difference is, other than the language of choice.

Ask HN: Share a shell script you like
Zoxide is basically the 'Rust Rewrite' version of the 'Z' tool and is actively maintained, I haven't had any issues with it: https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide
-
env::set_current_dir() -- is either not functioning as intended or I'm just messing something up
Indeed, utilities like zoxide which operate primarily as a cd replacement don't attempt to change directories via rust code - they create a shell alias that ultimately invokes a shell builtin to do it.

Everything I Installed on My New Mac
I also still use zoxide for navigating directories. It's a smarter cd command that learns your habits and makes navigating directories a breeze.
