posixutils is far, far more utils than coreutils. posixutils includes awk, m4, a C compiler, etc. At the same time, as you note, this does not include GNU extensions inside each utils.

It is hoped that posixutil's awk's bytecode-based modern design should keep performance high, theoretically higher than ancient C-based awks. Inspired by Ray Gardner's "wak" awk implementation https://git

I wouldn't assume. The awk implementation likely stands up well for a 1-billion-row challenge, with its thoughtful bytecode-based design. Redditors ran some quick performance tests on parsing, also: https://www.reddit.com&#

The entire repo is written in Rust. bc is one of 145 utils specified by POSIX.

posixutils is something more. (see README.md)

Most utils are 25+ years old. It is worth revisiting, dropping old cruft, entrenching UTF-8 support, and other areas. Smaller and fresher.

Amazing work. Thanks and kudos. I definitely tested some early stuff vs your bc.

Just added this FAQ section to the README: Because it is a FAQ, the major differences between this project and uutils are: 1. Wider scope: posixutils is far more ambitious than uutils from a breadth standpoint: posixutils will include bc, m

Gotta be That Guy: Some of the wisdom from the recent XZ backdoor incident was that cmake was a contributing factor, due to its internal complexity. Some of the current trend is to strip out autotools and cmake , and go back to the basics,

Sigh. I get more than enough of that in the blockchain world. Call me a greybeard; I want multiple implementations and a spec.

Where is the file format specification? I would prefer to write a parser with zero dependencies.

The goal of this project is to be a skeleton for anyone who wishes to write an API server in rust. Question: What features would developers like to see, in a clone-and-start-hacking API server skeleton? Far beyond the usual source code exa
