Re: Rust tldr client
Oh sorry, I'm not a maintainer of the tlrc client, only the pages. The
main maintainer of tlrc is acuteenvy and they've maintained it since
2023.
The advantage of including tlrc is that it's the fastest client to
implement the new client specs
https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr/releases/tag/v2.3
For me it does not matter what language a program is written in, just
how it's maintained.
