macOS Command-Line Tools You Might Not Know About
Some of us don't want all of GNU's utilities; just on an as-needed basis. They're not as needed as they once were.
Many of these utilities have been rewritten in Rust and have more modern features.
For example, instead of ls, I use exa [1]. Or ripgrep [2] instead of grep.

List of apps I use every day - Version 2023
fish: A very fast shell with various customization options to streamline daily commands. I discovered it through this post by @caarlos0, where he provides more details about performance and the differences between fish and zsh. Additionally, I use some CLI utilities like delta, exa, and ripgrep. Here's my dotfiles for fish.

Ls with icons
Hi! I use this: https://the.exa.website, and the package to this: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/exa/

Everything I Installed on My New Mac
I still use exa for listing files in the terminal. It's a modern replacement for ls with a lot of useful features. With icons, colors, and git integration, it makes listing files much nicer.

Use colorls and font-awesome to add colors and icons to your ls output
There's also exa
- ls is bloat

What kind of applications are missing from the Linux ecosystem?
Yeah, I see what you mean, perhaps exa could implement this, in case they don't already.

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
What are some alternatives?
lsd - The next gen ls command
colorls - A Ruby gem that beautifies the terminal's ls command, with color and font-awesome icons. :tada:
fish-shell - The user-friendly command line shell.
fd - A simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to 'find'
bat - A cat(1) clone with wings.
fzf - :cherry_blossom: A command-line fuzzy finder
iTerm2 - iTerm2 is a terminal emulator for Mac OS X that does amazing things.
visidata - A terminal spreadsheet multitool for discovering and arranging data
starship - ☄🌌️ The minimal, blazing-fast, and infinitely customizable prompt for any shell!
zoxide - A smarter cd command. Supports all major shells.
skim - Fuzzy Finder in rust!
tokei - Count your code, quickly.
