Common *nix commands written in Rust

So why not write "fast and safe implementations of popular command line utilities" rather than focusing on the implementation language? If there were a safe and fast implementation of, for example, find in Ada why should it be excluded from this list?

I don't see any reason why people who write these tools in Ada shouldn't add that to the headline as well. People who are interested in Ada would be even more likely to read the article then.

Writing fast and safe implementations of popular CLI utilities is already happening.

There's also some advocacy involved which many people obviously find distasteful. To me it's a bonus though: tell me why your tech choice makes a difference, I'll check and maybe learn it.

Anything wrong what that?
