Sirula

Sirula (simple rust launcher) is an app launcher for wayland. Currently, the only feature is launching apps from .desktop files. Feel free to submit pull requests for any feature you like.

I wrote sirula partially to learn rust, so do not expect perfect rust code. I'd be happy to hear any criticism of my code.
