📣 lychee - writing a fast, async link checker in Rust
by Matthias Endler

5:40 pm CEST

For the last two years, I worked on lychee, a new link checker which supports Markdown, HTML, and more. It heavily uses async Rust and has a focus on performance. During the session, I will talk about the challenges of writing a link checker and how Rust was the ideal language for this project. The key takeaway is that simple things can get complex very quickly and that the Rust ecosystem allows building high-performance CLI tools with relative ease.
