It certainly beats using NodeJS. EDIT: Yea, this was meant as a reference to the coreutils-in-nodejs post on the frontpage.

  NodeJS is for applications, Rust is for system programming. How does one beat another? It's akin to saying "ARMv7 assembly beats using Java for Android programming".

    He is probably referring to this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11334597 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11334597 -- discussion on CoreUtils in Javascript!

      Ah, understood. I think neither of these beats actual coreutils and their support base (still under impression of Termux capabilities...), at least not yet.

    Rust is a general programming language, no need to constraint oneself to a single domain.

      So is JS. But like I said, both implementations suck compared to actual coreutils.
