Hey, you probably know about restic and borg for backups. They are pretty mature and very commonly used.

Rustic is a fully compatible reimplementation of restic in Rust and they do seem to have implemented a few improvements over restic. The developer even used to be a contributor on restic.

Is anyone here using it already? It looks super promising but I’d love to hear your opinion!

    Looks like the rust-cult is at it again rewriting existing stuff for no gain but pushing rust on others.

      A lot of the time, rust rewrites are more for devs, than users. Rust code is just easier to maintain (in the long-run 😉) and harder to make buggy. But some times the apps do just run faster when compiled with Rust.

        Is it that much better than Go? Seems like the original restic was written in Go which afaik is pretty similar performance and syntax wise.

          Go has its fair share of design problems and is not as memory efficient due to its garbage collector. Also it will probably always be linked to Google in some way.

      Use fd instead of find, or rg instead of grep and tell me there’s no gain. The speed increase alone is astounding, and beyond worth it.

        Oh shit, will definitely be trying this out. I tend to make wildly overzealous find searches
