What's the coolest Rust project you've seen that made you go, 'Wow, I didn't know Rust could do that!'?
Hope you are aware that structopt is in maintenance mode and is merged into clap as of v3.
-
Task manager for Linux using rust
As I understood you need to implement a command line argument parser for that you can use clap https://github.com/clap-rs/clap or structopt https://github.com/TeXitoi/structopt.

clap with Ed Page :: Rustacean Station
I feel like discovering moves like this is a weakness in the ecosystem today. You can check out some of our discussion on raising visibility

clap 3.1: A step towards 4.0
Something I've been giving thought to is how to help structopt users discover that clap3 is their upgrade path. We've put notices in the structopt repo but cargo upgrade and docs.rs won't say anything. See https://github.com/TeXitoi/structopt/issues/525 for more ideas we're considering.

ANN: clap 3.0.0-rc.0!
For myself, I have found serde.rs really useful for undertanding their derives while I've always been frustrated with finding anything in structopt's documentation, so I modeled it more off of serde. This ended up both being in structure and not being in docs.rs. I think it really was the structure that was the frustration point for me but there was interest elsewhere in moving stuff out of docs.rs.

fncmd: Command line interface as a function.
I think it would be nice to have a comparison to clap-derive and/or structopt in the README, as that is what I expect most users would compare this to. The subcommand handling looks especially cumbersome compared to deriving on structs and enums.

Linkerd 2.11 now includes a Kubernetes controller written in Rust
However, the one place I'm a little curious to rewrite things is the CLI... every time we have to deal with cobra I long for Rust's structopt.

vaultssh: A small CLI wrapper for authenticating with SSH keys from Hashicorp Vault
Have you tried https://github.com/TeXitoi/structopt ?

SwayWS - a sway workspace tool which allows easy moving of workspaces to and from outputs
It is written in Rust using the structopt and swayipc crates. It is published on crates.io. The repository is hosted on GitLab. The repository is mirrored on GitHub.

Most Versatile Language for CLI Apps?
I use structopt, which itself uses clap.

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (23/2023)!
“cargo add” from https://github.com/killercup/cargo-edit has that behavior, but not the built in one that was added to cargo
-
Is Rust's cargo-edit crate still relevant?
I have also noticed that the last commit of cargo-edit crate's GitHub repo (https://github.com/killercup/cargo-edit) was two days ago (pretty recent.) So it is probably relevant for a lot of people.
-
What are some useful tools for Rust?
cargo-upgrade from cargo-edit (somewhat more intentional than builtin update)
-
How to list upgradable crates programmatically
I've also tried cargo-upgrade from cargo-edit like so:
-
Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (9/2023)!
You can also see how other crates do it. For example, cargo-edit is just like that - a single package with a library with a couple of small cli wrappers around it. You can compare their Cargo.toml to yours, maybe there is something different about them.
-
`toml` vs `toml_edit` (ie `toml` 0.6 is out)
Just to check, are you aware of cargo-edit's cargo-set-version or cargo-release?

Rust 1.66
Speaking of cargo remove, see also cargo-edit [0] from which adding and removing originally came, as well as cargo-binstall [1] which installs binaries rather than compiling from source every time. The binaries are updatable with cargo-update [2].
The latter two can replace a package manager for Rust related utilities, as I often find that those in OS package repositories are often not as up to date as directly from cargo.

TIL about cargo add
For context, it was/is part of cargo-edit crate which provides other nice functionalities as well. Hope all gets integrated in time.
-
how can I use same crate but with different features?
https://github.com/killercup/cargo-edit can use the F option
- `cargo-set-version` support for workspace inheritance released in cargo-edit 0.11.4!
What are some alternatives?
When comparing structopt and cargo-edit you can also consider the following projects:
clap-rs - A full featured, fast Command Line Argument Parser for Rust
nexus-repository-cargo - Nexus Repository Cargo Format
docopt.rs - Docopt for Rust (command line argument parser).
cargo-outdated - A cargo subcommand for displaying when Rust dependencies are out of date
easy_flag - Simple command line flag parser for rust.
Cargo - The Rust package manager
anyhow - Flexible concrete Error type built on std::error::Error
cargo-do - allows you to run multiple cargo commands in a row
rust-starter - Rust Starter Project
cargo-dot - Generate graphs of a Cargo project's dependencies
enum-map
cargo-script - Cargo script subcommand
