> I wasn't implying. I was stating a fact. There has been no attempt to move the smallest parts of the ecosystem, to provide replacements for base POSIX utilities.
More to the point: while I do concur in the conclusion that Rust shouldn't be a part of the OpenBSD base system, the gatekeeping implied here (it's not a serious language because it's not used to build an operating system) is really toxic. Especially considering that the gate in question has already been thoroughly breached by the language in question (some universities have switched to using Rust in their OS courses, for example).
This is in fact incorrect--there is a project aiming to build all of the coreutils in Rust (https://github.com/uutils/coreutils).
