Most people who shill for new languages are zoomers trying to make themselves seem more relevant than the old guard with little to no tangible increase in performance.

Most people who shill for old languages are boomers afraid of change. They also don't have to change because there's little to no tangible increase in performance so why bother.

Most of them are just zoomers doing that whole get behind a team and achieve utopia if our team wins. If you're particularly neckbearded then that team becomes a programming language.

but for some binaries they are now seeing "significantly" better performance than out of the GNU package for commands like head, cut, and other common ones. They remain on the challenge of closing the compatibility gap for these utilities with the upstream GNU commands.

You're allowed to compare even with features missing? Nice. Then I submit my even faster head command. Note, some features may be still be missing:

fn main() { println!("lol"); }

Exactly! And now put all the compatibility hacks the C coreutils have accrued over the time on top. It's simple to be fast if you don't have to support everything there ever was under the sun. What a dumb fricking comparison.
