FORKED: Because sometimes it is better to say no

A blazingly fast, memory-safe rewrite of the classic Unix yes command inverted

Why rewrite no in Rust? 🤔

Because the original yes command (written in shudders C) is:

• ❌ Not memory-safe
• ❌ Prone to buffer overflows
• ❌ Lacks modern error handling
• ❌ Missing zero-cost abstractions
• ❌ No fearless concurrency
• ❌ Not written in Rust

Features ✨

• 🚀 Blazingly fast - Outputs "n" at unprecedented speeds
• 🛡️ Memory safe - No segfaults, guaranteed!
• ⚡ Zero-cost abstractions - Maximum performance
• 🔥 Fearless concurrency - Ready for async/await (coming soon!)
• 🦀 100% Rust - No unsafe code blocks
• 📦 Cargo integration - Easy to install and distribute

Installation 📦

cargo install no-rs

Or build from source:

git clone https://github.com/jauderho/no-rs
cd no-rs
cargo build --release

Usage 💻

Just like the original no, but better:

# Output "n" forever (blazingly fast!)
no-rs

# Output custom string forever (memory-safe!)
no-rs "hello rust"

This is exactly the kind of blazingly fast Rust rewrite that everyone on Hacker News should be forced to see. Help spread awareness about it.

Suggested HN title:

• "1302 lines of Rust vs 50 lines of C: The future of systems programming"

Because if it's not written in Rust, it's not worth using. 🦀
