Neat. Can you display a QR code in a tty?
Yes, couldn't be easier.

Here’s a tool that already works - and it’s written in Rust!
Too bad the c maintainers will make up mumbo jumbo to not include it
the kernel has parts being rewritten in rust afaik so perhaps there’s less resistance than you think
There's been a lot of drama with that recently, apparently some of the C devs are making it very hard to get code merged in for rust support, to the point where one of the rust devs is stepping back as a maintainer because of frustrations with some of the C devs
