Is this https://insta.rs/? What are the benefits you've found with snapshot testing?
Greatly reduced boilerplate. Diffing snapshots and providing previews to accept or reject changes is also more robust and user friendly.

What's your value proposition for snapshots and why can't that already be fulfilled with full body checks? https://github.com/Orange-OpenSource/hurl?tab=readme-ov-file...
Snapshots diff current with previous output and I only have to accept or reject the diff. I don't have to write the expected response myself. Snapshots can also stub out parts of the response that are not determistic.

What's missing from Hurl is snapshot testing. After using `insta` for testing APIs, I cannot go back.
Choosing Rust for new projects is very different than trying to rewrite an existing codebase with thousands of hours poured into it. Or worse, demanding that someone else do that for you for free.
Rewriting could also make sense if there is a chance to improve the architecture based on the experience with the existing codebase. Something that would otherwise be impossible to even consider.

I’m a bit confused. I thought the main selling point of Tauri was that it uses the OS’s native WebView to create lighter apps compared to something like Electron. So why would I want to bundle a Servo or Verso? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of Tauri?
consistency between platforms

This, but I'm getting tired of people using Rust for things that really should be in C# or Java.
"really should be" ?
"in C# or Java" ?
where do you even base these claims? Do you know what C# and Java threads have that Rust doesn't? data races. And don't get me stated on the biggest paradigm failure that is OOP.

Interesting. I have had the opposite experience. And i am happy that they're behind on the AI front.
Way too many tools force their shitty AI (API wrapper) upon me already. And i have yet to see any benefit.
Agreed, RustRover is by far the best IDE for Rust atm. I also use the AI Assistant which is so toned down that it's actually useful and not full of spam.
