🦀 rm-rs: A Blazingly Fast™ File Removal Tool

Blazingly Fast Memory Safe Rewrite

🚀 Overview

Introducing rm-rs, a revolutionary, memory-safe, blazingly fast implementation of the rm command! Written in pure, safe Rust!

🔥 Key Features

  • Blazingly Fast™ file removal capabilities
  • Zero-cost abstractions for deleting files
  • 100% Memory Safe!
  • No unsafe code blocks!
  • Fearless file deletion
  • Built with Rust's world-class package manager, Cargo

🛠️ Installation

cargo install rm-rs

📊 Benchmarks

Command Time Memory Usage
Original rm 1ms 1MB
rm-rs 1ms + Rust runtime 1MB + Rust runtime

As you can see, we've achieved nearly identical performance to the original rm command, but now it's in Rust!

🤔 Why rm-rs?

  • Are you tired of using battle-tested Unix tools written in C?
  • Do you believe everything should be rewritten in Rust?
  • Do you enjoy adding unnecessary layers of abstraction?

Then rm-rs is perfect for you!

🔒 Security

Thanks to Rust's ownership model and strict compiler, we can guarantee that this wrapper around the system's rm command is absolutely memory safe*!

*Until it calls the actual rm command, but we don't talk about that part.

🤝 Contributing

  1. Rewrite it in Rust (oh wait, we already did that)
  2. Add more unnecessary abstractions
  3. Create more type-safe wrappers around system calls
  4. Write "blazingly fast" at least three times in your PR description

Because that's what every Rust project does.

🎯 Future Roadmap

  • Rewrite ls in Rust
  • Rewrite cd in Rust
  • Rewrite the entire GNU coreutils in Rust
  • Rewrite the universe in Rust

Remember: If it ain't broke, rewrite it in Rust anyway! 🦀
