📝 Quick Summary of the Video

In this video, I share my thoughts on the growing trend of rewriting core Linux utilities like sudo and GNU coreutils in Rust. With Ubuntu switching to a Rust-based sudo in the next release, I ask: is memory safety a strong enough reason to rewrite well-functioning tools? I also explore alternatives like doas, compare usage patterns, and reflect on what this shift means for the future of Linux. Is it evolution or unnecessary duplication?
