Uutils: an attempt at writing cross-platform CLI utilities in Rust

I'm writing a book "Rust From the Ground Up" which teaches Rust by rewriting a coreutil per chapter, from the original BSD sources. The first 3 chapters (true/false, yes, and head) are released. wc is next, then cat, cut, rev, and uniq.

The book looks very interesting. By when do you plan to complete the next set of chapters?

Thanks! I've written the whole book - now I'm going through and editing and typesetting each chapter and trying to publish one a month.

That's wonderful. Do you have twitter? I just want to be notified once the book is complete.
