I personally like very much how Golang and Rust have started to make low-level (mostly old and very important) applications more maintainable for a wider range of contributors (and readable for me); I see (coreutils)[0] as a great example. Also, I would throw Lua into that mix too, at least on some level. As it applies to this particular case, for instance, a repo object management function for lua-git, git implemented in Lua, (`Tree:checkout(path)`)[1] seems like something I could understand. I failed to find git's checkout function, even with a good bit of energy put into it. 0:https://github.com/uutils/coreutils https://github.com/uutils/coreutils 1:https://github.com/mkottman/lua-git/blob/d64218a227fe26b1fc971a8802f74a1921e0187e/lua/git/objects.lua#L84 https://github.com/mkottman/lua-git/blob/d64218a227fe26b1fc9...
