goreutils

An implementation of GNU Coreutils(go + coreutils = goreutils. Get it? Hahaha...) in the Go programming language. This project is not meant to replace coreutils just help me check out what Go is like.

The resulting binaries are a lot bigger than the coreutils versions, largely due to static linking. They are also a bit slower but still plenty fast.

For now there's only:

  • wc
  • fold - only the -w flag is implemented.
