With Ubuntu changing to the Rust implementation of coreutils, what does that mean for performance?
With Ubuntu changing to the Rust implementation of coreutils, what does that mean for performance?
Rust has some big binaries due to static linkage, and the Rust coreutils gets around this Busybox-style, compiling everything into one binary that you hard link to. Pretty neat. The project is easy to build and mess with without installing if you’re curious about it. And you could add the build dir to the front of your path if you want to try it out with low risk.
