Project mention: Ubuntu 25.10 Replaces GNU Coreutils with Rust Uutils | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-04-24
If this rewrite is indicative of other rewrites, we'll see a license change from GPL [1] to MIT.
"Differences with GNU are treated as bugs." - https://github.com/uutils/coreutils#goals
Wouldn't it be annoying though, to have to keep things bug-for-bug compatible on a green-field project? That priority may be the first compromise, and divergence is inevitable.
Thinking of what if coreutils were ported to C#; what would folks think then? If the reaction would be the same, different, or ambivalent.
