I love it because software written in rust tends to be straight up better. because it makes it so easy to make your code parallel, because it makes it easy to be user friendly by design, people actually go that extra mile. because it’s so easy to pull in a dependency to do something you’d be too lazy to do in C, the tools can get a bit big but they tend to work really well. I’ll take a rust CLI app over a python CLI script any day, and I’ll especially take it over software written in C. most people don’t care as long as the tool works, but you can definitely feel the difference of the language it’s written in in its design and performance.
Good software can come from almost any language, but yeah there’s just something about rust CLI tools. I’ve pretty much always had issues with incorrect file type associations on Linux, until I started using handlr. exa (or eza?) is great too. Just like ls but better in every way.

exa
(oreza
?) is great too. Just likels
but better in every way.Yes eza is the new fork. I like the nerdfonts combo
