I want to parse the yarn status file, then show the statuses, then once that works I’ll make it fetch it online etc. Will take some time, but I feel a bit more motivated (for now) to do this in rust.

working with c++, windows, cmake and wxwidgets reminded me on why I want to learn more rust. rust and crates makes it really easy to get up and running, crossplatform. scrapping what I did today, I’ll start over and force my self to learn rust.
