But that doesn’t mean that there’s a POSITIVE case to be made for retaining coreutils. It just means that the rollout needs to be handled more carefully and with more user control. But that makes work for distro maintainers too, who are going for rrutils to reduce their burdens.

I have accidentally wokified nixos to an extreme extent (almost every command line utility, including coreutils, replaced with rust equivalents, desktop environment written in rust)

If you visit the uutils/coreutils-tracking project on Github, you'll actually discover that they automatically test conformance over time and publish results automatically. It's improving, but far from perfect.

programming in pure bash sounds like a funny challenge
and by pure, i mean no coreutils, no spawning non-bash processes
everything has to use builtin commands

Did anybody seriously say this? There is already BSD, busybox, and various other projects that reimplement coreutils.
I am aware that people argued against replacing GNU coreutils in Ubuntu because of compatibility, lack of experience and licensing

oh, shut the fuck up autoconf, my triple hasn't been supported since 2001
![UX:rm: ERROR: Incorrect usage
UX:rm: TO FIX: Usage: rm [-fir] file ...
Oops!
Your 'rm' program seems unable to run without file operands specified
on the command line, even when the '-f' option is present. This is contrary
to the behaviour of most rm programs out there, and not conforming with
the upcoming POSIX standard: <http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=542>
Please tell bug-automake@gnu.org about your system, including the value
of your $PATH and any error possibly output before this message. This
can help us improve future automake versions.
Aborting the configuration process, to ensure you take notice of the issue.
You can download and install GNU coreutils to get an 'rm' implementation
that behaves properly: <http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/>.
If you want to complete the configuration process using your problematic
'rm' anyway, export the environment variable ACCEPT_INFERIOR_RM_PROGRAM
to "yes", and re-run configure.
configure: error: Your 'rm' program is bad, sorry.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:liipgxjmiao2wnnzarwe66g2/bafkreihnnovcbta2iisbjh2eksq2ge5cebyp4lmygm2o77tefabiutrwju@jpeg)

Had an old tool called `hist` to run `sort | uniq -c` years ago but thought up a high-perf impl for it today. Tried it out and found a 25x throughput over the coreutils version.
Big takeaway - arena allocators, hashmaps, and serde work super well together.

Ubuntu 25.10 is released, with its Oxidizing Ubuntu effort (using rust rewrites of most of coreutils, and sudo). Seems like it went pretty well? I haven't heard any of the doom and gloom predictions in a few weeks. Any updates from the haters?

Getting closer. I’ve found a few bugs in 20-year-old GNU tools that make them fail to compile on Motorola SVR4 and patched them. Now I have GCC 2.95.3, 2003-era sed, m4, make, etc. I almost have coreutils-5.9 going which will fix some more problems and soon GCC 3.3.
Gotta back /usr/local/gnu up.
