Anyone have any pointers on where I can find a good IDE for Rust? Should I just start praying to lord-JetBrains for something that works?
Shouldn't the derivative work still be covered by the GPL?
The rationale talks about easy portability to Windows, but I'm skeptical - the underlying API and filesystem is different enough that this is likely to cause problems. '\' vs '/' to start with.
Windows supports forward-slash fine. Has for at least 25 years. No need to change / to \ or visa versa. Now obviously any Windows port would have to call Win32 APIs instead of POSIX APIs (unless you're writing for a Cygwin-like layer).
I'd really love to use rust, given the large growth of projects like this. I only need an IDE to get started, but it seems like there isn't one yet. Anyone have any pointers on where I can find a good IDE for Rust? Should I just start praying to lord-JetBrains for something that works?

What are the licensing implications for this kind of work? I assume the authors used GNU coreutils as more than just inspiration. They probably read all the original code and reused some of the solutions (obviously ported to Rust). Shouldn't the derivative work still be covered by the GPL?
I have sent in a few PRs to this project, and I have never done more than maybe glance at the source of coreutils, and it was for unrelated reasons. can't speak to the regular contributors, though.
Is there a real need for this project ? I mean, this project has been used for a long time, could it really be better ? Do you intend to replace GNU coreutils ? Not to be mean, just a genuine question (and yes I read the Why section of the readme).

I don't understand why you need an IDE, I believe Rust is simple enough that you can work on things in Notepad++ or Vim or Emacs.
Rewriting coreutils is neat, but a project I'd really look forward would be a strict POSIX base expanded with warnings or errors on valid but risky constructs e.g. echo -n. Even more so if it included a shell (with static analysis of useless uses and dangerous patterns). That would make writing cross-shell scripts much easier.
Ok, I'll bite. What's wrong with "echo -n"?
Note that the -n option as well as the effect of
`\c' are implementation-defined in IEEE Std
1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'') as amended by Cor. 1-2002.
