Has anyone written #libucl bindings for #Rust?

#FreeBSD #Rustlang

One of the ironies of depending so heavily, on my #FreeBSD desktop, on source repositories rather than compiled and ready-to-go applications is that I've compiled a fair bit of #Rust code, and a lot of other weird things, without knowing the slightest thing about the actual language (yet.)

A question I find myself asking: was it entirely necessary for Rust to have come up with its own versions of shared libraries and other such packaged code, with their own jargon? But Rust is scarcely the only language who seems inclined to reinvent all that stuff. Was the old system so bad? (here's where someone probably CAN say 'yes' backed up by reams of immediately persuasive technical explanation.)

🚌🇱🇹 Old bus graveyard, somewhere in Lithuania. These are Soviet-era паз-672 (PAZ-672) buses from the 1960s to 1980s. Their colourful paint flakes and fades and weeds grow around their deflated tyres.

A digital illustration of three women cuddling on a couch together. On the left is a catgirl reading The Rust Programming Language (2024 edition). In the middle is an android or robot girl. On the right is a human girl, with her head resting on the robot girl's lap. She's playing Armored Core 6 on a Steam Deck. A speech caption coming off the Steam Deck reads "... I'm with you, Raven." The image on the screen shows a specific ending's boss-fight cutscene from Armored Core 6. The android girl has her arm around the back of the catgirl, and her other hand on the human girl's head. They are all looking towards the scene happening on the Steam Deck. The background is a polyamorous pride flag.

At 10:15 I added a gently condescending toast for IPv4-only visitors. It called ipify, which felt inappropriate for someone running an ASN.

By 13:27 I had built a Rust/Axum IP service, put it behind Caddy, added MaxMind, three DNS names, trusted-proxy handling, an rc.d service, and a dedicated dual-stack FreeBSD VNET jail.

The toast looks exactly the same.

It started as a gag: a tiny popup telling IPv4 visitors that their provider hasn't yet discovered 1998.

To do that honestly I needed something to echo the client address.

Using ipify felt wrong when you run your own AS. So now it's a service. 🙃

curl v6.ip.hofstede.it/json
curl v4.ip.hofstede.it/asn

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.

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
