scc VS modern-unix

View on GitHub

Going to say my own https://github.com/boyter/scc/ which I have used to turn down projects of "Oh we just need to do X"

It allows me to evaluate the code-base quickly and see where potential issues are, and find hidden complexity in the code. I have said no a lot due to it. The only reason it exists was because I got caught out from another project, which wasted months of my time.

Otherwise IntelliJ and the JetBrains IDE's in general.

Very cool to see this here, Ben! It was fun beating the ins and outs of your work on this in the TZ discord.

Also, off-topic but as you know, I recently tried out your scc tool and am eagerly awaiting its support for Elixir templates (.eex, .heex)!

I believe tokei is the best rust option as of now, but despite my burning passion for rust I've switched to using scc instead as I find it faster and more convenient. Not really an option for you if you're trying to bake line counting into the binary, obviously.

I've seen some real world example where Go was as fast or faster than Rust for CPU / io intensive task.

Go is a fast language even with a GC.

I don't trust your qualitative "LARGE" for the project. I would recommend you pass your project through something like a software metrics tool https://github.com/boyter/scc to better measure what you're up against in terms of Flutter/Dart AND Rust code base.

- Learning "modern" tools like ripgrep and fzf (There's a list here: https://github.com/ibraheemdev/modern-unix)

Nedavno mi je dobro dosla ova kolekcija toolova za unix https://github.com/ibraheemdev/modern-unix

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.

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).

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 :)

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.

You might want to take some inspiration from https://github.com/ibraheemdev/modern-unix too! Neat website

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.

The UDM Pro looks nicer with modern Unix tools! Commit adding the tools (leveraging UniFi OS Utilities): GitHub commit adding the tools.
