alt Hacker NewsSeems pretty impressive they rewrote the coreutils in a new language, with so little Unix experience, and managed to do such a good job with very little bugs or vulns. I would have expected an order of magnitude more at least.
Shows how good Rust is, that even inexperienced Unix devs can write stuff like this and make almost no mistakes.

Yes, it's the lack of Unix experience that's terrifying. So many of mistakes listed are rookie mistakes, like not propagating the most severe errors, or the `kill -1` thing. Why were people who apparently did not have much experience using coreutils assigned to rewrite coreutils?
