Apart from the aspect that you're new to a language and just want to learn something you might make an improved version.

ripgrep is a Rust version of grep. It's the fastest grep I know and it has better Unicode support than GNU grep (because of Rust language decisions).

Looking at memory safety and portability it might also be a good idea to program them in Rust. There are whole classes of bugs that are excluded in Rust which still pop up every once in a while in some of our basic system tools.

I guess porting something you know in a new language is one problem less.
