More interesting than rewriting the GNU coreutils are the projects that are reinventing them. Like ripgrep (which built on the example of ack) is a better grep, by discarding backwards compatibility. Or fd, which abandons find's arcane syntax. We've learned a thing or two since the 70s when most of these tools were first invented.
- hencoappel 5y agoAgreed, it would be an interesting idea to make a new coreutils with everything modernised/cleaned up to be easier to use and more consistent.
