What is the advantage of using this over restic?
Looks like the rust-cult is at it again rewriting existing stuff for no gain but pushing rust on others.
A lot of the time, rust rewrites are more for devs, than users. Rust code is just easier to maintain (in the long-run 😉 and harder to make buggy. But some times the apps do just run faster when compiled with Rust.
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.
