What?

Write a clone of kafkacat in Rust (https://github.com/edenhill/kafkacat)

Why?

Show how to write CLI apps that follow best-practices.
Would also be a fun tool to have and I need such a tool on a regular basis.

How?

Probably something around structopt, Rust 2018 edition.

+1 to see Rust written for use with Apache Kafka, which a lot of companies are adopting lately.

Yeah, my idea is to write a tool similar to the beautiful bat by @sharkdp or @BurntSushi's ripgrep. 😃

Actually, what I planned is already done here: https://github.com/spicavigo/kafka-rust/blob/master/examples/console-consumer.rs
Might want to choose a different example for writing a CLI app. 😉
