Native Coreutils for Windows is genuinely some good news coming from Microsoft.
- cute_boi 4mo agoWith these AI agents using lot of linux commands, I think they have to do it.
- zamadatix 4mo agoThe command line team has been doing some solid work for a while. I recognize lhecker from the also great wt & edit projects. If you told me during the Windows 7 era the Windows CLI would not only be getting nice but getting pretty comfortable I would never have believed it.
- thewebguyd 4mo agoYeah, the problem with Windows isn't the command line team, the problem is the marketing & sales div using windows to push every other MS service. If they just kicked them out and left the Windows div alone it'd be a decent OS. All the bones are there.
- xeonmc 4mo agoHopefully these do not require a PhD to be implemented.
- egorfine 4mo agoIt's not coreutils. It's a rust slop.
- jeff_carr 4mo agoChrist. I'm guessing it's to be BSD so they can pull it back and keep it proprietary at any time also. Never trust Microsoft to act in good faith. We USE THE GPL for a reason.
- thewebguyd 4mo agoUbuntu also replaced GNU coreutils with uutils recently, its not just Microsoft. The project will deny it, but this is clearly an attack against the GPL
