  • Absolutely.

    Well, in all seriousness, I don’t think so. But I do think that Rust rewrites are generally good since they usually end up producing a higher-quality program which is significantly faster (this is pretty important to me).

    Of course, there’s no point rewriting everything in Rust, since Rust’s benefits obviously don’t apply to anything.

    I think one of the best things about Rust is that it can be used to write basically anything (at least, this is what the extent of the Rust ecosystem leads me to believe), from web apps and CLI tools to, I don’t know, kernels. That’s probably why there are so many Rust rewrites. People actually do write a variety of programs in Rust, and from what I can tell said variety is way bigger than in most other languages.







  • You’d have to copy the files to their designated paths. I’ve laid out the files so that just copying all the dotfiles - and directories - in the repository to your ~ should be enough to load all the configuration files. You’ll also need to install all of the programs and fonts used in this configuration (in the repository’s README.md) to make sure that everything works.

    That should be enough to set it up, but let me know if I can help you any further. Oh, and the configuration files are pretty old, so you might need to adjust them to account for any changes made to the programs they’re used for.
