I am a rust newbie and I am very interested in this project, but I don't know where to start, how to read the project and make contributions. Can anyone give me some advice?

The broot code source is complex and hard to study or modify, because it deals with tree-like data, because of parallel computing and performance concerns, and also because I was myself a rust noob when I started making a TUI in a language which had none at the time and I didn't always choose the simplest solution.

Besides, the reason issues aren't solved isn't because nobody has time but because it's not easy to find a solution which plays well with the rest, won't make broot harder to maintain as a side effect.

broot is far from an ideal first project to start contributing to. You may, with some tedious work, be useful by looking for the technical solution for one of the many issues, but you can't really expect to easily land some code in the codebase.

What you could do is look at the issues with the "help wanted" flag and see if you can find the problem.

Sorry not to sound more welcoming, you're welcome anyway, it's just that rust and broot are hard.

@Canop Sorry for not replying to the message immediately.First of all, thank you for your explanation and advice, I know rust is a difficult language, but I will continue to stick to it, and I hope that I will be able to participate in this project in the future, hahahaha.by the way.I'd also like to ask if there are any rust projects for beginners 😁
