Re:Rewriting the GNU Coreutils in Rust on Friday June 18, 2021 @08:37AM (#27549666)
another benefit I guess is the fact that this project uses the MIT licence, which would allow this to be used on Mac OS (currently they use an old version of GNU coreutils due to being (very reasonably imho) against including any software under the GPLv3). Obviously this is unrelated to Rust, but it's one benefit of the rewrite and I guess if you're going to rewrite, might as well do it in Rust
hmm yeah because Google sending everyone's location data to the US government, that's totally different, right?
