Cross-platform Rust rewrite of the GNU coreutils
Not that it should represent the rubicon of when to/not to rewrite code, but when you do, you do trade one set of bugs for a new set of bugs: https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues

The First Stable Release of a Rust-Rewrite Sudo Implementation
Would be interesting to see a a Debian derivative that combines this with the Rust Implementation Of GNU Coreutils.[1] Could be a big win for memory safety and performance.

Looking for a small boring rust project to help my learning.
uutils /coreutils is also a great project. It has many contributors, and it also is a great resource to learn.

I have years of experience in vulnerability analysis including several 0-day discovery, and this bug [buffer overflow] seems totally safe.
Already did it. Checkmate, as i believe your people say.

Rust is ugly, doesn’t even let you write simple data structures, unsafe rust is not even defined, makes the simplest things so hard to write and did I mention it’s ugly?
Ah yes, std, that famous crate that is unusable for systems programming. God forbid anyone do any "systems" programming that uses std.

GitHub - dcantrell/bsdutils: Alternative to GNU coreutils using software from FreeBSD
I suppose there's some merit in having another option. But I also immediately thought why not just contribute to https://github.com/uutils/coreutils.
I like the idea but I think that https://github.com/uutils/coreutils likely is the better option going forward if you want to avoid GNU coreutils. Writing code that works on all platforms seems better than to port from one system to another, in my opinion

There's something similar to this called watchexec, which you can have a look at https://github.com/watchexec/watchexec

Turbowatch – Extremely fast alternative to Nodemon
Or use watchexec which will do 95% of what you need and you're not tied to nodejs.

What "nice-to-have" CLI tools do you know?
watchexec
-
is there a plugin to run any file (.py .js .java etc.) and display the output?
I use watchexec to automatically run the code when saved, you should customise this to your liking.

[Paid Bounty-$20 in Bitcoin!] Persistent - Watchfolder() dir, if files contains word "apple" in name, make file Read only.
OTOH PowerShell will not keep watching and is one of the requirements. In the past I've successfully used watchexecrepo and inotifywaitrepo.

How to automatically run a command when directory updates?
I prefer watchexec as it's cross-platform.

What is the most underrated tool you encountered ?
Not specifically for frontend but a handy tool for quickly setting up auto-runners, auto-testers, auto-linters, auto-formattere etc etc. watchexec

Entr: Rerun your build when files change
I’ve been a happy user of watchexec[0] for the past few months but Entr seems cool.
- Sync files all ways across several specific folders

checkexec: a CLI tool to conditionally execute commands only when files in a dependency list have changed
Thanks for your work ! How would you compare it to Watchexec ?
What are some alternatives?
When comparing coreutils and watchexec you can also consider the following projects:
entr - Run arbitrary commands when files change
exa - A modern replacement for ‘ls’.
watchman - Watches files and records, or triggers actions, when they change.
fswatch - A cross-platform file change monitor with multiple backends: Apple OS X File System Events, *BSD kqueue, Solaris/Illumos File Events Notification, Linux inotify, Microsoft Windows and a stat()-based backend.
systemd-manager
fd - A simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to 'find'
tokei - Count your code, quickly.
woodpecker - Drill is an HTTP load testing application written in Rust
skim - Fuzzy Finder in rust!
rust - Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.
concurr - Performs distributed command execution, written in Rust w/ Tokio
Debian Repository Builder - A project for automatically generating and maintaining Debian repositories from a TOML spec.
