Hey team! 👋

First off, amazing work on GrokBot — bringing Grok AI into Discord is such a cool and powerful idea. That said, I wanted to open a discussion around potentially rewriting (or incrementally porting) GrokBot in Rust. 🦀

Why Rust? Let’s be real — it’s blazingly fast 🚀🚀🚀

🚀🚀🚀 Why Consider Rust?

  • Performance: Rust compiles down to native code, which means minimal overhead and lightning-fast execution. Great for bots that need to handle high concurrency or large volumes of requests in real-time.
  • Memory Safety: No nulls, no segfaults, no data races — Rust gives you peace of mind without a garbage collector.
  • Ecosystem: Thanks to crates like serenity (Discord API) and reqwest (HTTP client), building a Discord bot in Rust is more accessible than ever.
  • Async/Await: Rust’s async runtime is super efficient — perfect for handling simultaneous conversations and AI interactions.

Potential Benefits for GrokBot:

  • Faster startup and response times
  • 🧠 Better resource management (important if deployed on limited infrastructure)
  • 🧪 Easier testing and deterministic behavior
  • 💻 Modern dev experience with tooling like cargo, clippy, and rustfmt

Of course, this would be a big change — maybe it starts with rewriting a specific module or functionality as a test.

Would love to hear your thoughts on this! 🚀

Cheers,
paige

I stay out too late
Got nothing in my brain
That's what people say, mmm-mmm
That's what people say, mmm-mmm

I go on too many dates
But I can't make them stay
At least that's what people say, mmm-mmm
That's what people say, mmm-mmm

But I keep cruising
Can't stop, won't stop moving
It's like I got this music
In my mind
Saying, "It's gonna be alright."

'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off

I never miss a beat
I'm lightning on my feet
And that's what they don't see, mmm-mmm
That's what they don't see, mmm-mmm

I'm dancing on my own (dancing on my own)
I make the moves up as I go (moves up as I go)
And that's what they don't know, mmm-mmm
That's what they don't know, mmm-mmm

But I keep cruising
Can't stop, won't stop grooving
It's like I got this music
In my mind
Saying, "It's gonna be alright."

'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off

Shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off

Hey, hey, hey
Just think while you've been getting down and out about the liars and the dirty, dirty cheats of the world,
You could've been getting down to this sick beat.

My ex-man brought his new girlfriend
She's like "Oh, my God!" but I'm just gonna shake.
And to the fella over there with the hella good hair
Won't you come on over, baby? We can shake, shake, shake

Yeah ohhh

'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate (haters gonna hate)
I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break (mmmm)
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake (and fake, and fake, and fake)
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off

Shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off

Shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off

Shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off (you've got to),
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off
