7 months ago I guess this exists now and it uses rust
https://github.com/samuelcolvin/watchfiles
I'm leaning towards just swapping out jurigged's watcher entirely since watchfiles seems to be gaining traction in Django
It also says it uses polling if it detects its running on WSL which I am and is where I'm seeing issues with watchdog, so this fixes the intelligent polling problem
The documentation currently says "watchman", which is a product built by facebook, now meta.
jurigged is using watchdog, which doesn't seem to use watchman at all.
This should be corrected as watchman may be something that could be switched to that could potentially do better.
