@AnachronistJohn @millie the quote is kinda misplaced here, since re-implementing UNIX utilities is not... re-inventing it. I'd also like to point out that Canonical are absolute fucking idiots, basing their shitstro which had one "good" thing—that being stability—on an unfinished, unstable experimental rewrite of the C coreutils. Even if I wanted a bleeding edge system, I wouldn't do that, because of precisely these issues that are now being found. Other than that, I don't really see any issue with rewriting things in Rust. The issue is just a greedy company trying to get GPL'd code out of their distro (or something, idk what other motivations one would have for this) pushing unfinished shit into production, where it will then inevitably explode
