    [$] Rewriting the GNU Coreutils in Rust
    As movement toward memory-safe languages, and Rust in particular, continues to
    grow, it is worth looking at
    one of the larger scale efforts to port C code that has existed for decades
    to Rust. The uutils project aims to
    rewrite all of the individual utilities included in the GNU Coreutils project in
    Rust. Originally created by Jordi
    Boggiano in 2013, the project aims to provide drop-in
    replacements for the Coreutils programs, adding
    the data-race protection and memory safety that Rust provides.
