Announcing [language]! A [language]-like language that produces [this language], [that language], or [another language]! Written in [language]!
/s
Why does it being written in Rust? Do people think, wow I must use this because it's written in Rust?
speed, probably
Speed and memory safety generally
What is this useful for?
Quickly creating or editing objects. The main target would be editor extensions, image a snippet that expands to an object on tab for instance
Interesting concept, just FYI, there’s a popular code grepping tool called Silver Searcher, and it also uses ag - consider just using august to avoid ambiguity/collisions.
zsh has completion built in. There's zsh-autocomplete that's maybe closer to what you're thinking. I'm not aware of a term emu with special GUI for it beyond what your shell gives you.
Off-topic, but beacme of Google's Carbon? People on Reddit created much hype like an year ago.
I wanted to try using yamlpath (yaml-set in particular) to recreate the first example, even though the usage model doesn't quite match up. It's a bit tedious because I don't think you can do unrelated replacements in a single command:
$ <<<'{}' yaml-set -g ignored.hello -a world | yaml-set -g tabwidth -a 2 -F dquote | yaml-set -g trailingComma -a all | yaml-set -g singleQuote -a true -F dquote | yaml-set -g semi -a true -F dquote | yaml-set -g printwidth -a 120 -F dquote | yaml-get -p .
Trying to make it neater with Zsh and (forbidden) use of eval:
$ reps=(ignored.hello world tabwidth 2 trailingComma all singleQuote true semi true printwidth 120) cmd=()
$ for k v ( ${(kv)reps} ) cmd+=(yaml-set -g $k -a $v -F dquote \|)
$ <<<'{}' eval $cmd yaml-get -p .
EDIT: Ugh I can't figure out how to properly write the less than sign in lemmy comments.
