That seems like something that wouldn't be super valuable to put in place until all of the commands are completed, or at least close to completed.

I'd love to know how this project compare to the similar Go based project go-coreutils.[0]

The `uutils/coreutils` repo is a rust re-write of the GNU coreutils. The repo you posted is a rust re-write of the BSD coreutils

Oh! Well that pleases me.

So much fun over three small letters...

They've made strides, but there are still things missing (there's a list halfway down the page). Perhaps one could just use the tools that are complete and fall back to GNU for everything else, though last time I tried to do that cleanly it didn't play well with the packages. (I may just be missing options to do a partial build)

Maybe instead of making it the system-wide default, you could use it for specific sensitive applications. That would make it more feasible to work around the missing features.
