FAQ: How Much Rust?

Q: How much of this project template uses Rust?

It is littered with Rust.

The generated template is supported by a considerable amount of Rust tooling. This was not the plan. It simply happened.

Tool	Purpose	Language
Turborepo	Monorepo build orchestration	Rust
Vite + Rolldown	Frontend bundling	Rust
Ruff	Python linting and formatting	Rust
uv	Python package management	Rust
just	Task runner (justfile)	Rust
Lefthook	Git hooks manager	Go

Q: Is Lefthook written in Rust?

No. Lefthook is written in Go. It remains on this list as a reminder that not everything has been rewritten in Rust yet.

Q: Should I learn Rust to use this template?

No. You will never need to write or read Rust code. You will simply install tools and watch them run faster than you expected.

Q: Why is everything being rewritten in Rust?

Memory safety.

Q: Is that the real reason?

Sometimes it is also performance.
