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.

      I heard there’s an improved version around, I think they call it JavaScript? Its name is longer so it stands to reason that it should be much better!

        So I know thats a joke but…

        With Java 11’s inclusion of ‘var’ I have successfully copied JavaScript code into Java without needing to change anything.

        I judge the direction Java is going in
