Hey, you probably know about restic and borg for backups. They are pretty mature and very commonly used.

Rustic is a fully compatible reimplementation of restic in Rust and they do seem to have implemented a few improvements over restic. The developer even used to be a contributor on restic.

Is anyone here using it already? It looks super promising but I'd love to hear your opinion!

Is it that much better than Go? Seems like the original restic was written in Go which afaik is pretty similar performance and syntax wise.

    Go has its fair share of design problems and is not as memory efficient due to its garbage collector. Also it will probably always be linked to Google in some way.
