I just wrote a utility in Rust this past weekend to calculate the Shannon and metric entropy of a file (&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;tuxxy&amp;#x2F;entropy&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;tuxxy&amp;#x2F;entropy&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;p&gt;I really love the Shannon entropy equation. I don&amp;#x27;t know why, but I just find it so fascinating and elegant. I love it so much that I even got it tattooed on my wrist recently haha!
