Shuck – a fast shell linter written in Rust
I’ve been working on shuck, a shell script linter written in Rust. ShellCheck is excellent project and set the bar for this space. However, it's very slow and take up a far amount of resources. shuck is conservatively 20x faster than shellcheck and uses a fraction of the resources. shuck currently supports sh, bash, dash, ksh, mksh, and zsh. shuck should mostly be a drop in replacement for shellcheck but it is not a port since shellcheck is GPL. It is s clean-room implementation with its own parser and analysis engine, so behavior may differ in some cases. shuck is tested against shellcheck…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
I’ve been working on shuck, a shell script linter written in Rust. ShellCheck is excellent project and set the bar for this space. However, it's very slow and take up a far amount of resources. shuck is conservatively 20x faster than shellcheck and uses a fraction of the resources. shuck currently supports sh, bash, dash, ksh, mksh, and zsh. shuck should mostly be a drop in replacement for shellcheck but it is not a port since shellcheck is GPL. It is s clean-room implementation with its own parser and analysis engine, so behavior may differ in some cases. shuck is tested against shellcheck on a large number of open source projects with a lot of shell scripts and has very few variations. That said, I’ve tried to make migration easy: 1) shuck supports ShellCheck-style suppression 2) you can run shuck in shellcheck compatibility mode where it has all the same CLI args and output. This is still early, and I’d especially love feedback from people who maintain large monorepos, CI-heavy projects, or lots of shell scripts. I’m interested in places where ShellCheck compatibility matters, places where it does not, and which classes of shell bugs people most want lint/fix support for next.

Duck (https://duck-lang.dev) is a statically typed, compiled programming language that combines the best of Rust, TypeScript and Go, aiming to provide an alternative for full-stack-development while being as familiar as possible Improvements over Rust: - garbage collection simplifies developing network applications - no lifetimes - built-in concurrency runtime and apis for web development Improvements over bun/node/typescript: - massive performance gains due to Go's support for parallel execution and native code generation - easier deployment since Duck compiles to a…

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
