  • Project idea: port markdownlint to Rust

    Either https://github.com/chyh1990/yaml-rust or https://github.com/dtolnay/serde-yaml for parsing the YAML config file that markdownlint uses
  • Borrow checker not liking recursive walk through a HashMap
    1 project | /r/rust | 3 Jan 2023
    Here's the Rust code so far -- the commented portions are my intent via pseudocode. This is part of an implementation where there's a _yaml_hash member that points to yaml_rust's underlying LinkedHashMap. (Also using anyhow's bail! and Result.)
  • How to deal with unmaintained crates? (eg. yaml-rust)
    6 projects | /r/rust | 9 Jan 2022
    The first thing I did was to find the crate yaml-rust and it seems it isn't really maintained anymore. It has not been updated in a year and there's a lot of PR's and unresolved issues, the CI is broken... So here is my open ended question.
  • YAML and Configuration Files
    12 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 14 Aug 2021
    Currently, my main concern with YAML is that, by the spec, comments are not attached to a particular node (see https://yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html#id2767100). As a result, a lot of YAML parsers (like https://github.com/yaml/libyaml and https://github.com/chyh1990/yaml-rust) only filter out the comments during the parsing phase. This makes it less than ideal for a use-case where the configuration file is expected to be modified by both programs and humans.

    TOML makes it more trivial to associate comments with a node. This is mainly because the language is simpler though, as the spec is not explicit about that (https://github.com/chyh1990/yaml-rust).

    The API looks really nice! What is your vision for the project? How is it going to compare to (walkdir)[https://github.com/BurntSushi/walkdir] performance and feature-wise?
  • Git ls-files is Faster Than Fd and Find
    4 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 21 Nov 2021
    > I believe that GNU find is slow because it is specifically written to allow arbitrary filesystem depth as opposed to "open file descriptor limit-limited depth".

    I haven't benchmarked find specifically, but I believe the most common Rust library for the purpose, walkdir[1], also allows arbitrary file system recursion depth, and is extremely fast. It was fairly close to some "naive" limited depth code I wrote in C for the same purpose.

    I'd be curious to see benchmarks of whether this actually makes a difference.

    It relies pretty heavily on the walkdir library from burntsushi so kudos to them!

    Although, I don't think FileType is the only problem. There's also Metadata, which I also had to re-roll: https://github.com/BurntSushi/walkdir/blob/1d7293a5a1ef548ce587a0b08abce5f21571a100/src/os/unix/stat.rs
