My theory is that writing as much as possible in Rust will improve performance and produce higher-quality code due to Rust's static typing. So far, it's been working well, but the …

Author here: I absolutely do not understand this mindset. It has almost 20K unit tests by now and hundreds of full end-to-end tests of complicated scripts to ensure it works and ma…

Mathics ( https://mathics.org/ ) has been working on a Mathematica clone for years and hasn't had any problems so far. There have been many legal cases establishing that APIs are't…

Thanks! I'm hoping to use libraries for this, but unfortunately there aren't many available in Rust yet for those kinds of problems. Integrating Symbolica would be awesome, but our…

For short scripts, it’s often faster because there’s less initialization overhead. In general, though, it largely depends on whether the functions you’re using already have optimiz…

As an alternative, I’m working on reimplementing Wolfram Language/ Mathematica in Rust: https://woxi.ad-si.com/ A lot of Wolfram Language code just works already!

I tried out numerous audio tagging apps (Kid3, Picard, …) and wasn't happy with any of them. They all try to work with some kind of library system of have a really bad UX (single l…

Yeah, I've already looked into it, but decided to keep developing it "example driven" for now. Aka I'm playing around with it, and whenever I find something that's broken I keep a …
