jvsgx··on Oxidizing Ubuntu: adopting Rust utilities by default
I have a queston: Why do they need their utilities to be written in Rust? Most utilities do not have to face the network, and most don't need to have root privileges. Heck, most of them are one shot programs and don't even need to free memory by the programmer. They could exit and return all the memory space back to the OS.
