- oneeyedpigeon 1y agoThere's a lot of tools here. Half still leaves plenty of value.
- antegamisou 1y agoI find the opposite to be true. Most of these are really just reinventing the wheel of foundational GNU tools that are really powerful provided one has spent some time on them.
- Johanx64 1y agoIt's like people dont even know why people use or want these "modern" tools. It's called "sane defaults", and improved UX. Those "foundational GNU tools" just suck, sure, people are familiar with them and they are everywhere, but they just plain suck. For many common operations you'd want to do by default with grep/find and so on, you have to type mountains of random gibberish to get it done. And that random gibberish isn't something that rolls of your tongue either, thus at minimum you'd define truckload of aliases. OR you can use a tool(s) that has marginally "sane defaults" and marginally sane UX out of the box. It really isn't that complicated. This has nothing to do with "rust".
- esafak 1y agoSome people just like torturing themselves with spells like perl -ne 'map{$h{lc$_}++}/(\w+)/g;END{map{print"$h{$_} $_\n"}sort{$h{$b}<=>$h{$a}}keys%h}'
- antegamisou 1y agoSounds like a skill issue.
- wpm 1y agoIf these improvements are worth it they should just be merged into the coreutils. Last I checked they’re open source.
