yes-rs 🚀

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

Why rewrite yes 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 "y" 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 yes-rs

Or build from source:

git clone https://github.com/rust-evangelists/yes-rs
cd yes-rs
cargo build --release

Usage 💻

Just like the original yes, but better:

# Output "y" forever (blazingly fast!)
yes-rs

# Output custom string forever (memory-safe!)
yes-rs "hello rust"
