It would be great for Rust to have a Linux target that doesn't use libc, but from what I've read, not many people are interested in this.

I'm working on pls (https://github.com/dhruvkb/pls/), a prettier and more powerful alternative to ls(1) that adds a lot of customisation and provides a very fluent command-line interface. It aims to be a superset of exa in terms of the features, while being more actively maintained and targeting a smaller subset of pro-users.
It works quite well and is very usable as a daily driver. I'm adding more features to it and making it available to install it via platform-native package managers.
