Lapce – Fast open-source code editor

I don't know of any essential tool coded in Rust. Literally every single thing I rely on is coded in other some other language, and works. There is exactly one in Haskell: pandoc. No Java or C# (although I guess some people feel they need Minecraft or Kerbal Space Program). No Lisp, except Emacs. No Erlang, Clojure, Scala, OCaml, Dart, or Ada. Does TeX still count as Pascal?

The only case I know of where I would need a Rust program is to check a blake3 hash. That won't last.

Ripgrep is my essential codebase search tool. It's incredibly fast, very clear, and it just works how I expect. I use it a lot if I'm refactoring a larger codebase, particularly because it works well for more dynamic languages (where a compiler won't help) and for comments and documentation (where I want the naming to remain consistent).

I've heard good things about Bat and Exa - I personally have never felt a huge need for them, but other people claim that they're pretty essential to them.

> No Java

I am not sure what "essential tool" means if pandoc included in it. For me Intellij, Eclipse, Dbeaver are more essential (+ few other Specific tools based on Eclipse).

C# - I am not sure, MS Office?

I acknowledge that some people depend on Java and even C# programs.
