[BOUNTY] Rewrite in Rust

[HutchyBen]

I'm putting a £50 bounty on this issue

I am looking for this project to be fully rewritten in Rust, all command line input and output should be identical to the Go version

Hi, I can take this on.

I'll rewrite the CLI in Rust while keeping the current command-line inputs, config/env behavior, and output format aligned with the Go version. I'll start by matching the existing README behavior, then open a PR with the Rust implementation and validation notes.

If there are any hidden expectations beyond identical CLI input/output, please let me know before I submit the PR.

Submitted a Zig rewrite PR for the updated bounty direction: https://github.com/HutchyBen/maifetch/pull/3\n\n/claim #1\n\nThis responds to the maintainer comment on PR #2 changing the request to a Zig rewrite with testing.

I can take the current Java 8 direction from the maintainer's latest note. I will preserve the existing CLI input/output behavior, config/env precedence, and MaiTea API coverage, and will include focused tests before opening a PR.

Submitted a Rust rewrite in #5 for this bounty. It replaces the Go module with a Rust binary, preserves config/env/CLI behavior, keeps the MaiTea API flow, and updates the build docs to cargo build --release.

I can take the current Java 8 direction from the maintainer comments. Plan: replace the Go implementation with a Java 8 CLI/library, preserve config/env/CLI precedence and terminal output shape, keep the MaiTea API wrapper coverage, add focused tests for config, formatting, and API parsing, then submit a PR with validation notes.

Submitted the Java 8 rewrite here: #6

/claim #1

Scope: Java 8 Maven rewrite preserving CLI/config/env precedence, MaiTea API coverage, terminal output behavior, tests, and Java 8 CI. Local validation and fork CI are listed in the PR body.

[Peter7896]

Update: the Java 8 implementation is open in #4.

I also added a JDK 8 workflow on the branch. It compiles the main and test sources, runs maifetch.MaifetchTests, and smoke-tests --help; the fork CI is green here: https://github.com/Peter7896/maifetch/actions/runs/27226552019

Unfortunately Java 8 performance hasn't been acceptable. I believe rewriting in Kotlin will improve this. The bounty for this is £150
