To be honest I am not the most stable person when it comes to what software and tools I use. I tend to be a bit emotional and biased on my choices. As of late I have changed up my Javascript environment to be a bit more Rusty. It's a language that facinates me and I have become quite the fanboy of it. So since I mainly do web development, I like to keep rust as close as I can. So I have made some changes to how I work which makes things much more Rusty.
The first change I made is replacing my default shell with Nushell. The reasoning behind it.
- It's written in Rust
- It's cross platform
- It's easy to install
- It's got major geek cred!
My second change is moving from node to Deno for my Javascript environment. I am mainly running little scripts and such, so the main difference for me is I go from typing node script.js
to deno run script.js
. Of course deno run
is a little more typing so I have already made an alias that has me just typing dr script.js
.
So far, my work is the same, nothing else has really changed other than the above. It's almost not noticible at all. I just get to have that warm fuzzy feeling that I'm running a bunch of Rust all day. To those who will complain in comments, yes I know this post is a little pointless, but it's fun.
If anyone is really interested in this, I can do a post on getting it all setup. It's pretty simple.
