Where's the new rust version?

56_@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 2y

https://crates.io/search?q=neofetch brings up 21 versions to choose from (21 are actual neofetch clones). There is also a library to help you write even more of them.

Why would this little bash script that does nothing extraordinary need constant updates? Some pieces of software might just be complete as they are.
