Rust is known to be "blazingly fast and memory-efficient" and there are ready-to-run commandline apps to help speed your system, file, and analysis tasks. Rust is easy to install and update - and so are the apps. Want to observe system performance? There's an app for that! What to check disk usage? There's an app for that too! Want to search a lot of files for a word, phrase, or regex? Yes, there's an app for that. AND, these apps run several times, to an order of magnitude faster than the typical system utilities. The presentation will include a sampling of useful and interesting apps written in Rust along with a demonstration of their performance.
The presentation will demonstrate installing and updating Rust, and Rust commandline apps. The selection of commandline apps will demonstrate the utility and performance of ready-to-run apps for system, file, presentation, and analysis tasks. No previous knowledge of Rust, or Rust development is needed. This is a presentation about the apps developed in Rust that you can run from the commandline right now.

Helped my Dad build an Altair 8800b, and I've been surfing the computing tsunami ever since.
