Frequently Asked Questions

What is this?

A little helper tool we use for managing some of the tedious parts of mimicking Rust's RFC process for our own projects.

How do I install it?

cargo install rfc

And how does it compare to the ideal tool for managing that process? Like, what word(s) would you use to fill in the blank in the statement "rfc is a blank of the platonic ideal of an RFC manager." ?

"tepid, misguided disciple"

How do I find out the tepid things it claims to do?

rfc --help

Are there tons of things it should probably do that it doesn't?

Yeap

Was it written by developers very new to Rust?

Definitely!

If they were to re-write it now from scratch, would it be far more idiomatic and elegant?

Not as much as they'd have you believe!

How likely is the interface to change between releases without notice?

Very

Is the unadorned, simple name the result of the authors taking advantage of crates.io's first-come/first-serve flat namespace?

Totes! Gotta love it!
