A lemmy bot written in Rust to send summaries of wikipedia articles mentioned in user comments - GitHub - Asudox/lemmy-wikibot-rs: A lemmy bot written in Rust to send summaries of wikipedia article...

NOTE: Bot is currently down

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/11440349

I made this bot so that users who want to provide a quick summary of the wikipedia article they linked to in their comment can do so just by including a mention of the bot in their comment, and the bot will reply to the comment with the summary.

Currently multiple wikipedia links are not supported.

    No sorry, I don’t know Java so I can’t easily contribute. There are so many people like me!!! We should write it in python so we can reach a wider audience of contributors. From 13 year olds, career and hobby devs, and academia! Python has many mature frameworks and lots of developers who use them. Another implementation is a great idea!

      Let’s rewrite whole Debian Operating system in Python. I mean everything from Kernel, drivers etc all the way to user apps like browser, games, multimedia players etc.

        … That also means figuring out how to get python to bootstrap itself. I’m in, just because I want to see how slow it would be lol

      That’s called Piefed. Golang and Ruby are still missing though. Maybe there could even be an implementation in C.
