There is no need to twist my words into sounding negative.
As already explained in the parent, congratulations to them for getting it done, and I believe it does provide value through testing one thing (Rust) while sticking to the very mature and well understood UNIX design.

Sorry if it sounded rough but I don't think I twisted anything. It's fairly common for people on here to post stuff they done as a learning exercise, and also very common for others to then ask "But what is the value?" and "This doesn't seem useful to anyone", which I think could put first-time authors off from HN. I guess I just got a bit tired of it at this point.
It seems highly irrelevant what you or I need. The author explicitly made the project as a learning experience, not for others. The "Why" is described in the opening paragraph, and makes the goal very clear.
And it seems like the author was highly successful, so congratulations author! Great to see people diving headfirst into very complicated parts of the stack.
