What other tools do you use to help you do GIS?
Whiteboxtools. Very fast and powerful. Works nice for hydrology and LiDAR. Good interface to Python as well.

What CLI tool will blow your mind? (written in rust)
WhiteboxTools (https://www.whiteboxgeo.com/) is a CLI tool that is about 500,000 lines of Rust (https://github.com/jblindsay/whitebox-tools) and is used for geospatial analysis in all kinds of industries. Most people use one of the many front-ends for it though (e.g. the QGIS plugin), so as to avoid the CLI, but at the most basic level, it's just a CLI. (Note, I'm the author of this tool, and so a little biased.)

WhiteboxTools v2.1 now released
We are pleased to announce the release of WhiteboxTools Open-Core v2.1 today. WhiteboxTools is an open-source platform for advanced geospatial analysis, and is used for GIS, remote sensing, lidar, hydrology, geomorphology, and many other data processing areas. This release includes new functionality and enhancements, including new tools for the calculation of various surface curvatures, multi-scale land surface parameter calculation, and the popular Geomorphons landform classification method. You may download the WhiteboxTools open-core here. Updated tool description files for the QGIS front-end, which include all of the new tools featured in this release, are available from here (see bottom of page). For more information about usage, please see the user manual.

Cross-platform Rust rewrite of the GNU coreutils
Not that it should represent the rubicon of when to/not to rewrite code, but when you do, you do trade one set of bugs for a new set of bugs: https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues

The First Stable Release of a Rust-Rewrite Sudo Implementation
Would be interesting to see a a Debian derivative that combines this with the Rust Implementation Of GNU Coreutils.[1] Could be a big win for memory safety and performance.

uutils /coreutils is also a great project. It has many contributors, and it also is a great resource to learn.

Already did it. Checkmate, as i believe your people say.

Rust is ugly, doesn’t even let you write simple data structures, unsafe rust is not even defined, makes the simplest things so hard to write and did I mention it’s ugly?
Ah yes, std, that famous crate that is unusable for systems programming. God forbid anyone do any "systems" programming that uses std.
