toml VS rust

tokio / hyper / toml / serde / serde_json / json5 / console

macros

This was just done because of a limitation to the parser library I used, see https://github.com/toml-rs/toml/tree/main/crates/toml.

ref issue: https://github.com/toml-rs/toml/issues/327

toml_edit is a format preserving TOML parser / generator. See docs.rs for more details.

It seems to be more fussy about compiler optimizations, though: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/125543

apimock-rs is one of my projects on API mock Server generating HTTP/JSON responses to help to develop microservices and APIs, written in Rust.

Rust, the language itself depends on 220 packages: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/e8753914580fb42554a79...

If you trust nobody, it is hard to use anything.

But about your second note, (environment, mismatched dependencies), I would argue that Rust provides the best tooling to solve or identify issues on that area.

rustc source code

First look is into The Unstable Book. Well, it does not look informative but gives us some background from the rust-lang Github project-const-generics. It says:

Rust has been around for several years and works well as a system and general programming language. There are many fine introductions to the language, a good place to start is here: https://www.rust-lang.org/

‍For the rest of this post I’ll list off some more tactical examples of things that you can do towards this goal. Savvy readers will note that these are not novel ideas of my own, and in fact a lot of the things on this list are popular core features in modern languages such as Kotlin, Rust, and Clojure. Kotlin, in particular, has done an amazing job of emphasizing these best practices while still being an extremely practical and approachable language.

You are responding to one of the key developers of Rust early on[1], who's been working with the language for 14 years at that point.

[1] https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/graphs/contributors?from=2... and he's still #16 in commits overall today, despite almost no activity on the rust compiler since 2014.

If you haven't dipped your touch-typing fingers into Rust yet, you really owe it to yourself. Rust is a modern programming language with features that make it suitable not only for systems programming -- its original purpose, but just about any other environment, too; there are frameworks that let your build web services, web applications including user interfaces, software for embedded devices, machine learning solutions, and of course, command-line tools. Since a custom GitHub Action is essentially a command-line tool that interacts with the system through files and environment variables, Rust is perfectly suited for that as well.

Here's an example of someone citing a disagreement between CRT and shell32:

This in addition to the Rust CVE mentioned elsewhere in the thread which was rooted in this issue:

https://blog.rust-lang.org/2024/04/09/cve-2024-24576.html

Here are some quick programs to test contrasting approaches. I don't have examples of inputs where they parse differently on hand right now, but I know they exist. This was also a problem that was frequently discussed internally when I worked at MSFT.
