gollark: Specifically, music file metadata parsing (I'm using an old binding to `taglib` for that).
gollark: Libraries for the specific random stuff I need are already scarce in Rust. I don't want to use what's probably a less supported language.
gollark: What are good Rust web frameworks these days? I'm rewriting my project in Rust (the backend part is only 50 lines, so it should be easy) but don't really know the current state of things.
gollark: They're completely different except that the name is mildly similar
gollark: Turns out nodejs packages *really* love compiling C(++) dependencies from source. So now `npm` is doing that, on my *phone* CPU.
