Common *nix commands written in Rust

Okay, so why not say "safer utilities" or "more performant utilities" rather than focusing on the implementation language? If I'm an end user of a safe and performant utility why should I care if it's written in Rust, Go, or OCaml?

Because there are a lot of programmers that read Hacker News and some of them have interests in particular things. That's why you see titles such as "Learn polynomial regression with Tensorflow" or "How do do HFT with Python".

But why do you care when it's said that it's written in language X? Does that ruin the story for you? And the potential usefulness of the tool?
