We had things break at work because of rust-coreutils. I dont particularly care that its made in rust. It just needs to be stable and compatible.
However, the project is not 100% compatible with GNU coreutils. Putting aside the licensing issues, if it cant do what it says on the tin, then it should be on experimental linux distros not our most popular distros.
But this is linux/FOSS so people will do what they want. It means I wont use Mint, but its also ok for Mint to decide this. GL! hope everything works out either way.
Yep! Ive used things that work perfectly for years in COBOL. It mostly doesnt matter what a thing is made out of unless I have to look under the hood and fix something.
Rust is fine. Its not revolutionary though its just another language. I made some cool one offs with it. But its everything else thats an issue.

Yeah, this is the good argument against rust-coreutils. Caring what programming language your binaries are made with? That’s pretty out there.
