  • Pulumi Gestalt devlog #8
    1 project | dev.to | 16 Feb 2025
    Previously, Rust support in Pulumi Gestalt was essentially Wasm/Rust support, which required a complex setup and runtime environment. This week, I implemented proper native Rust support, which simplifies the process significantly. Now you can get started without external runners - only Rust and Just required.
  • Do-nothing scripting: the key to gradual automation (2019)
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 8 Feb 2025
    I’ve just switched to using just https://github.com/casey/just for my makefiles that were really just a collection of small snippets and it’s worked wonderfully
  • I'll think twice before using GitHub Actions again
    12 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 20 Jan 2025
    theoretically we could also use https://just.systems/ or https://mise.jdx.dev/ instead of directly calling gh actions but I haven't tried gh actions personally yet , If its really the nightmare you are saying , then that's sad.
  • DoxyPress – Modern Doxygen
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 13 Jan 2025
    I use `just` - https://github.com/casey/just and have a `docs` task. That runs a bash script that does all the heavy lifting (python install, and so on).

    Though given all the chatter on here in the last couple of weeks, I'd migrate some the python work to `uvx` and that would make things simpler again.

    I'm don't know if doxygen easily supports 'incremental' builds for your use case. I've never really found completely re-building docs for my modest repos a bottleneck.

  • Static search trees: 40x faster than binary search

    Well, I don't use makefiles to deploy software with Rust. I also have never used lex or yacc, but I bet there are similar tools in the ecosystem, or wrappers for those. That would obviate what I will offer below.

    Often a new language in a project would define an application boundary. So those would be different containers or services. I may deploy via container images, or an OS specific installer, etc. If we aren't crossing an application boundary I may use FFI. Sometimes I use https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-bindgen/ to smooth that over for C dependencies. There is also a nice concept called a build.rs file: https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/build-script-examp.... There's also tools like: https://github.com/casey/just and https://sagiegurari.github.io/cargo-make/

    I rarely use multiple languages with Rust. A lot of interpreted languages have bindings through crates and can go in to a project through Cargo. If it involves JS/TS on desktop, I'm usually using Tauri for that. Guess it depends on the system?

    Hopefully that helps. You can also still use a Makefile if you want I just haven't dealt with one in a long time.

  • Database mocks are just not worth it
    10 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 30 Dec 2024
    I thought this was common knowledge and that it became even easier after Docker became a thing?

    Mocks are wishful thinking incarnate most of the time, though here and there they are absolutely needed (like 3rd party APIs without sandbox environments, or quite expensive API, or most of the time: both).

    Just pick a task runner -- I use just[0] -- and make a task that brings up both Docker and your containers, then run your test task, done. Sure it's a bit fiddly the first time around but I've seen juniors go beyond that in a day maximum and then your tests actually work with the real world 99% of the time.

    Mocks in general are rarely worth it, the DB ones: 10x so.

    'Just' too was simple at the beginning [1], but with time and usage things always become more complex that some script you do for your own specific use-case.
