"I don't wait to understand everything before I build — I build until I understand everything."
Every trajectory has equations behind it. Mine runs through pure C, a hand-rolled Rust shell with its own lexer and AST, x86 Assembly written register-by-register, and Python tooling that ships to real package managers. I don't wait for permission to explore a new layer of the stack — if it compiles (or doesn't), I want to know exactly why.
⚗️ oxide Rust
A custom, high-performance shell written entirely in Rust — not a wrapper around existing system calls, but a full pipeline built from scratch.
Raw text flows through a custom Lexer → Parser → AST → Execution Engine. Architected as a Cargo Workspace to keep every layer strictly decoupled:
| Crate | Role |
|---|---|
oxide-cli |
Entry point and terminal UI |
oxide-core |
REPL loop and state manager |
oxide-parser |
Lexer, grammar, and AST generation |
oxide-builtins |
Native shell commands (cd, echo, etc.) |
Features: custom lexing & parsing · process execution · output redirection (>) · dynamic prompt · built-in command interception
git clone https://github.com/AmmaarBakshi/oxide.git
cd oxide
cargo run -p oxide-cliPersonal git standup tool written in pure C — no dependencies, just git. See exactly what you committed by day, week, month, or year. Ships on both winget and an Ubuntu PPA.
$ git-recall --week
$ git-recall --month -2 # two months back
$ git-recall --day > recap.txt # pipe anywhere
🗡️ paimon Rust JavaScript
Keyboard-driven Rust TUI for injecting code snippets and project structures into your working directory instantly. Snippets are embedded inside the binary at compile time — no internet, no Python, nothing extra needed.
$ paimon --code -ls
# ↑↓ navigate ENTER select ← back q quit
🔧 letx Python
Modular Python CLI toolkit. Debug smarter with plain-English error explanations, get fix suggestions, and clean your codebase — all from the terminal. Ships on PyPI.
$ letxDebug -a my_script.py # run + explain + suggest fix
$ letxFix -rm -cmt src/ # strip all comments from a folder🖥️ ASSAMBLY x86 Assembly
63 Assembly programs written register-by-register — animated ASCII bouncing balls, a desktop-lite shell, quadratic equation graph visualizations, GCD, Hamming weight. Most devs skip this layer entirely. I didn't.
