  • nushell

    A new type of shell

  • And while I have never personally used it, Nushell has the prettiest error message I've ever seen.

  • miette

    Fancy extension for std::error::Error with pretty, detailed diagnostic printing.

  • To complement, Nushell's error rendering is done with miette (whose name is a reference to this cute meme AFAIK). There is also another notable Rust error rendering lib: ariadne. So you can get the same beautiful error rendering in your own projects :D

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
