It would be nice to have a collection of modern/faster/saner alternatives to common unix tools and such utilities (made in rust or not) that becomes standard -- or at least easily installable in linux distros and OS X. Not for replacing those tools, but for supplementing them.

Thinking of stuff like fd and:

ripgrep: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep (grep/ag alt)

xsv: https://github.com/BurntSushi/xsv (csv tool)

exa: https://the.exa.website/ (ls)

una: https://github.com/jwiegley/una (multi-compression utils wrapper)

tokei: https://github.com/Aaronepower/tokei (loc stats)

And of course this: https://github.com/uutils/coreutils
