Yet another command line argument parser: bpaf 0.5.5
venial is supposed to be a lighter weight alternative to syn that might work. Besides level of maturity, the biggest risk is slowing things down for people already using syn but I think there was a claim that it wasn't noticeable.

Need a new args parser
That's because the maintainer does not consider it an issue but an implementation detail: https://github.com/RazrFalcon/pico-args/issues/15

An alternative to clap but with a stable API?
Maybe pico-args then?

Immediately off the top of your head what is the best Rust CLI library.
If I forget to get around to it, would you mind poking RazrFalcon/pico-args about adding it to the comparison chart? I really like using that thing as something I can link people to with just a quick explanation of that particular trade-off.

Best CLI arg parser for use in Rust to port from Perl with Getopt::Long?
If fewer dependencies is better, you can't get much fewer than pico-args, which has zero dependencies.
- What is the current proper way to get command line args ?

Creating an Argparse library [feedback would be appreciated]
You might also want to check out pico-args, Gumdrop, and lexopt to see if any of them meet your needs.

New:`cargo-fuzzcheck` 0.5.0 and a series of decent, fast-to-compile crates to replace `syn`, `quote`, `serde-json`, and `toml-rs`
For example, I'd love to go from StructOpt to Gumdrop for parsing command-line arguments and cut my compile times and output size by an order of magnitude, but Gumdrop uses String internally, which means it'll panic if it encounters a Windows path with un-paired surrogates or a mojibake'd posix path... some of which I actually have.
