nixCraft 🐧If Rust is so secure and awesome, why haven't GNU or BSD utils been rewritten in Rust Lang?
Lucas@nixCraft there are rust implementations of GNU and BSD tools, there are many different reasons why offical GNU /BSD utils remain written in C/c++. Since C/C++ has been around for so long Its a standard. Plus most of these tool are old and have been tested for a long time so many bugs have been worked out and security holes patched. Why write if it's not broken? Changes in standards and practices can take many many years to propagate. https://github.com/uutils/coreutils
