That's pretty awesome! I love seeing bindings and utilities starting
to get written for rust. Perhaps some sort of wiki-style page is in
order for keeping track of all these libraries...
It'd be cool if opening an archive would behave like a filesystem
where I could do something like:
let zip = ZipReader::new(...);
let filea = zip.open_reader(Path("my/awesome/file.txt"));
let fileb = zip.open_reader(Path("my/other/awesome/file.txt"));
Right now open_reader requires &mut self which prevents more than one
borrow at a time, but perhaps that could become &self.
Also, I've always found writing tests to be an excellent way of
test-driving a library, and it's even easier to run them now that
fgilcher from reddit set up a nightly ppa for rust! Travis-ci
integrates excellently with github and
http://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/1ni84a/running_rust_tests_on_travis_ci/
has all the good details. As soon as I saw that I put my own splay
tree implementation in rust on travis and it worked beautifully!
First we get rustpkg awesomeness, then we get travis awesomeness, and
now we're getting awesome projects like this. It's like Christmas is
coming early!
