mwbot-rs is a framework for writing bots and tools in Rust. The aim is to provide the building blocks for people to write safe and concurrent applications that interact with and enhance MediaWiki. The project is still getting started, all contributions are welcome!

 * Embrace and utilize Rust's key features like safety and fearless concurrency
 * Encourage best practices by default
 * Enable sustainable development of bots and tools
