Rewriting the GNU Coreutils in Rust

> And today LLVM is roughly on par with GCC, and the feared for balkanization hasn't happened. There are some proprietary forks of LLVM, but largely nobody cares about those. Any architecture that wants to be taken seriously needs to have both GCC and LLVM support.

Nobody cares, except, of course, for those who have to actually _use_ those forks.

A few years ago I actually had five different LLVM-based compilers installed onto my $dayjob workstation. Only one had source provided, the rest were proprietary, and as such I was entirely dependent on the vendor to fix bugs and otherwise provide updates that the Distro-supplied one received on a routine basis.
