Hey, you probably know about restic and borg for backups. They are pretty mature and very commonly used.
Rustic is a fully compatible reimplementation of restic in Rust and they do seem to have implemented a few improvements over restic. The developer even used to be a contributor on restic.
Is anyone here using it already? It looks super promising but I’d love to hear your opinion!

A lot of the time, rust rewrites are more for devs, than users. Rust code is just easier to maintain (in the long-run 😉 and harder to make buggy. But some times the apps do just run faster when compiled with Rust.

Is it that much better than Go? Seems like the original restic was written in Go which afaik is pretty similar performance and syntax wise.
