  • Irrelevant unless they're presenting themselves as viable alternatives to a C codebase.

  • I don't think I do want to be pedantic but, to be explicitly clear, the philosphy I'm associating with uutils is capured by the "rewritie it in rust" mantra, so whether or not their posix compliant interface uses GNU code is beside the point.

    More importantly, if their goal was a posix compliant api, then I'd have assumed they would have included that in their repo description, or even called the project posix.rs; but they didn't. What's more is that the rust standard library isn't equivalent to that of C, so it would still make sense that for a project whose goal was, or has simply become, to replace a C codebase would offer a safe C alternative to its dependencies. But maybe that's their next step; an internal library offering enough of a posix api to avoid surprises like these.

  • I forgot where I suggested that libc was a coreutils project but, if you find it, let me know and I'll be sure to make the apology and corrections, mr crabby pants.

  • Generally I don't consider myself anti rust as a technology, and/since many of my favourite tools happen to be written in it. Consequently, I don't generally fall into the critics of c/unsafe usage.That said, for the purpose of understanding the point being raised, it's important to understand the difference between uutils, its philosophy, and rust at large. This isn't just an arbitrary rust project, it's one that specifically claims to replace a C project. Is it the kind of thing I would encourage use of rust for? Absolutely not and I don't hold any ill will to people pursing these, or similar, projects for pedagogical reasons. That's not what uutils is or aims to be though. If the language's system API isn't ready for this sort of project, then I think that would be a more fruitful use of these people's time and whatever funds the project maintainers are collecting. I'm just a bum though, so don't mind me.

  • I may not but then I wouldn't need to say that because as you acknowledged, but don't actually seem to understand, the USP of coreutils or GNU was not simply an api, but open source technology and they delivered on that in ways where the actual merits of their contribution are unambiguous. If the "rewrite it in rust" crowd were forthcoming about shelling out the real work to c then there'd be absolutely nothing to talk about here, but then we also wouldn't have windows sidelining their fancy modern powershell for a 2nd order rehash of unix tools by people who likely never used them.

    inb4 they buy a license too.
