Sucks because I use Mint. Did you guys see the disaster that uutils caused in the new release of Ubuntu? Why are they so desperate to redo everything in their terrible slow language? Why not create something new with Rust instead of trying to replace everything that already exists? Maybe because rustoids tend to release their replacements under the MIT license instead of the GPL? Is it because the MIT license would allow for projects to be eventually made closed source if the maintainers want?

My theory: big corpos are using rustoids to rewrite everything critical in the linux ecosystem, then when the time comes and most linux distros are composed of rust toolchains, utilities, and the kernel is mostly rust, they'll snap the trap and close the source on everything.

When they do, I wonder what gayass name IBM will call Linux by...
