  • alacritty

    A cross-platform, OpenGL terminal emulator.

    Project mention: From iTerm To WezTerm | dev.to | 2025-01-09

    I also tried Alacritty, but it is very basic and lacks the features I need. Recently, I tested Ghostty, which has gained huge attention – it has nice defaults, but its RAM usage is concerning (around 250MB per empty tab). Currently, it also lacks buffer search, which makes the terminal useless for me.

  • ripgrep

    ripgrep recursively searches directories for a regex pattern while respecting your gitignore

  • fd

  • Servo

    Servo, the embeddable, independent, memory-safe, modular, parallel web rendering engine

    Project mention: Qutebrowser: A keyboard-driven, Vim-like browser | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-12-08

    It seems that they moved it since to a bigger meta issue and it's actively being worked on https://github.com/servo/servo/issues/30593.

  • exa

    A modern replacement for ‘ls’.

    Project mention: Eza: A modern, maintained replacement for ls | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-07-21

    I think they are not referring to ls, but to exa [0], which is not maintained anymore.

  • xi-editor

    A modern editor with a backend written in Rust.

    Project mention: Zed is now open source | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-24

    Was confused until I realised I'd confused Zed, with Xi[1] which is also rust based, and which incidentally has a frontend called "Xim"..

    Also there's a wiki-editor (like Tomboy[2]) called "Zim"[3].

  • coreutils

    Cross-platform Rust rewrite of the GNU coreutils

  • wgpu

    A cross-platform, safe, pure-Rust graphics API.

    Project mention: Ask HN: Resources for General Purpose GPU development on Apple's M* chips? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-12-25

    People have already mentioned Metal, but if you want cross platform, https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu has a vulkan-like API and cross compiles to all the various GPU frameworks. I believe it uses https://github.com/KhronosGroup/MoltenVK to run on Macs. You can also see the metal shader transpilation results for debugging.

    Project mention: Peng – a minimal Rust-based quadrotor simulation pipeline | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-08-21

    Project mention: Shell Cacophony | dev.to | 2024-08-29

    qsv is a command-line tool to work with CSV files. It is the successor of xsv and is written in Rust. Current progress is quite impressive as qsv now has SQL and Lua support.
