coreutils reviews and mentions

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

I think you’re conflating different projects.
There are projects that aim for a better user experience, with better command line interface, defaults, performance and UI. These are of course breaking changes and the programs can’t be used as drop in replacement. Some examples are
- ls => exa (https://github.com/ogham/exa)
- grep => ripgrep (https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep)
- cat => bat (https://github.com/sharkdp/bat)
- tree => broot (https://github.com/Canop/broot)
The person you’re replying to was speaking of a different project - uutils (https://github.com/uutils/coreutils). These are drop in replacements with identical interfaces (modulo bugs).

GCC gets a new frontend for Rust
LLVM, while open source, is not at all GPL or a GNU project. Regardless of what you might think of the guy personally, history has by now clearly proven RMS right on certain points over and over again - so having a GNUish rust toolchain suddenly makes rust a whole lot more attractive for use for some people. Consider the fact there's a maturing coreutils rust replacement now. Coreutils may not be high profile, but is rather important, like its name might suggest. Rust has clear advantages over C and C++ on some axes at the level of systems tools - but, see, now even if such rust-ified rewrite stuff starts "winning", it can all be built by GNU's official compiler GCC, and GNU projects can themselves use rust etc.
