  [edit: I just re-read the posixutils-rs readme and it says the exact opposite - they are NOT trying to be GNU compatible.]

  There is more than one project to rewrite the GNU utils in Rust?

  I know this say POSIX utils but it also says that it aims for GNU compatibility.

  They want to implement a C99 compiler as just one of the "utilities"? Somethings makes me think that is way out of proportion against cat, cp and mkdir.

  Why is the word "Rustcraft" in the title? I don't see it mentioned anywhere in the content.

  The posixutils-rs project just merged a full, POSIX compliant shell.

  Where is my posix shell with dotnet bindings?
