Question: Why not pure rust with zip-rs?

[JoelMon]

Hello,

Out of curiosity I would like to ask why use TS for the zipping when there are Rust crates like zip-rs for zipping?

Just curious.

Oh, sorry for the delay. didn't see that earlier. So it was just for simplicity's sake, TypeScript scripts are way easier and faster to write than Rust and also easier to execute while for rust I'd have to make sure I build the binary first and then use it but for TS I just use ts-node zipper.ts. I had 10 days as a deadline to finish this project so choosing TS for publishment utilities was a wise choice at least for me(cause I've been using TS for 5y while Rust for a few months), cause it speed up the process.

That makes perfect sense. Thank you for getting back to me.

Would a rust implementation now be something you would be interested in if I make it happen or do you prefer to keep it the way it is?

[YassinEldeeb]

I'd love to, and I'll be happy to review and merge your PR. Rust everything - Rust for the win!

[JoelMon]

Woot! Sounds like a win! I'm working on a few things at the moment but if no one gets to it before I do, I would like to take a crack at it.

Yeah, sure and Thank you in advance!
