::: notes
Super excited to be here at the first ever Rust All Hands!
Yesterday was surprisingly productive,
and it was super awesome to meet so many new real-life people
who I happen to already know from the Internet.

# What we want to do
- - -
- famous crates: work with their authors to improve and stabilize
- write guide-level documentation
- pitching Rust as a great lang for CLIs on the new website
- for specific crates and use cases
# Survey
- - -
- 1,045 replies
- we'll post pretty pictures soon
- - -
# Areas we are focussing on
## Handling CLI input should be concise
- clap 3.0 with custom derive
- config files, env vars, CLI flags build a configuration
- best-practice-as-a-crate
## Outputting stuff in CLI should be frictionless
- streaming and pipe handling
- logging
- for humans and machines
- best-practice-as-a-crate
## Testing
- assert_cli refactoring & 1.0
- guide on testing cli apps
## Distributing
- Coordinate and consolidate already existing efforts
- we can't do everything, but we can provide guidelines and scaffolding!
# This is happening fast
## Quicli
- re-exports commonly used items from other crates, e.g. structopt's derive
- provides helpers like read_file (`-> String`)
- gives you a `main!` so you can do `?` "in main" (and get logging set up)
- - -
- since quicli 0.1 in january:
- rayon 1.0 shipped
- failure 1.0 announced
- CLI WG started
- quicli might become obsolete soon!
- clap 3 with include a custom derive (ETA: Before Rust 2018)
- `std::fs::read_string` (bikeshed half painted)
- `?` in main will be stable _very soon_
- - -
…please keep doing this, folks
# Thanks!
## Come to the CLI WG meeting at 10pm in the "Snow" room
