  • clap-rs

    A full featured, fast Command Line Argument Parser for Rust

  • Would you be interested in taking a look at my thoughts for the future of clap? I'm wanting to make sure I don't lose what people find awesome about it now but make the right compromises to allow it to work better in more cases.

  • autocomplete

    IDE-style autocomplete for your existing terminal & shell

  • fig.io rewrote their CLI in rust, they also mentioned on twitter they use clap. Looks like cross-platform was their biggest motivation.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • oclif

    CLI for generating, building, and releasing oclif CLIs. Built by Salesforce.

  • There are frameworks like oclif which take care of all that for you. It includes nodejs in the installation packages that it creates for each platform. It's pretty seamless. Nodejs can start up in a few hundredths of a second, but in practice startup time is going to depend a lot on what your cli does.

  • a11ywatch

    Web accessibility automation tool

  • A11yWatch has the CLI in rust too https://github.com/A11yWatch/a11ywatch.
