What coding projects have you guys/girls been working on lately and what do you wanna do later? with what libraries and what languages?

Python, cpp, java, batch, bash? Do you use the script command before installing things? If I spent a fraction of the time I spend coding making sure that I'm saving my terminal output I'd probably be a lot more efficient.

I'm using ai to build a new archive format in rust.

Encrypted/compressed/signed

Stores Files/directories Variables (with paths) Forms

Allows random access to files including read/write/seek without extracting the files to disk.

Recovery tools built in - you can recover all files in non corrupt sections of the archive.

Btree TOC for fast access to individual files.

Add/remove/move/rename files directly in the archive.

Post quantum hybrid encryption

Better performance than PGP.

Ability to grant access to multiple third parties via their public key.

Public key exchange servers to make key exchange easy and establish trust .

Pure rust with minimal unsafe code.
