  • starship

    ☄🌌️ The minimal, blazing-fast, and infinitely customizable prompt for any shell!

    • Rust is being used for a lot of different use cases, but I'd say the two most notable use cases are applications (CLI and GUI) and server software. Firefox while stile being mostly written in C++ includes a lot of Rust code. Some important components of AWS (Lambda and Fargate) are based on Firecracker, which is written in Rust. Popular CLI tools include Ripgrep (which is included as a part of Visual Studio Code) and Starship, which you can run in the popular terminal Alacritty.

  • firecracker

    Secure and fast microVMs for serverless computing.
