Not sure who decided it was a good idea to integrate Rust dependencies into Python modules.

Installing a 1GiB Rust package to build wheel is a waste of bandwidth and time.

It seems, #Bun is being rewritten from #zig to #Rust (at least there is an experimental branch, so nothing is decided yet). Comments suggest that the most probable reason of that is that Zig's maintainers do not receive AI assisted contributions and harshly oppose *any* #AI use.
In my opinion, it's their gravest error: Zig is young, pre-1.0, and having this radical anti-AI position will decrease the number of people adopting it even more.
I thought about writing a project in Zig, because to be honest, I like it better than Rust, but now… no.

The original is written in #OCaml with quite involved setup, but #TIL about two single-executable #Rust implementations: Kodama and Weibian.

I'm still trying them out, but luckily both support @typst@mastodon.social so at least I can keep a common content format between them and final document

- switching between #Zig versions, I liked it more than the dedicated anyzig
- #Python venv activation – it's silly but feels so good, and collaborates with uv
- ensuring I have the right language server and formatter for a project, be it #Lua, #TypeScript, and trying out various options for Python
- setting LANG="C.UTF-8" only in the specific project folder because #Ansible refused to work with Polish...

The final boss was getting a really comfortable Tree-sitter setup: get the #Rust CLI, write grammar in #JavaScript, re-generate and run tests on source change as a mise Task. And then I only cloned the repo on another machine and was ready to go!

This post was written as a more cultured outlet for my excitement instead of aggresively committing mise.toml into every repository I touch
