Very impressive, but I'm still disappointed they are mostly copying Unix, rather than trying to improve it. E.g. based on the names, the coreutils are identical.

While I completely agree that there are Unix idioms that could go by the wayside, the team is already taking on an enormous project. Reinventing standard practices at the same time (and the ridiculous bike shedding that would ensue) seems like an even more impossible task.

Good point, but opportunities to fix fundamental things like 'dd' existing, or unstructured piping are rare. Shame to waste them.

Ok, I have to ask. What's wrong with dd?

Strongly agreed.

Especially since multiple successors to Unix already exist -- notably, Plan 9 and Inferno.

If you have ideas, then you should pitch them on the corresponding GitHub projects.
