Yep, I've also been loving mcfly, bat, and fd. I mentioned this further down in the post, but I compiled a list of all these modern unix tools a couple months ago: https://github.com/ibraheemdev/modern-unix



This compilation is very useful. I've been needing to review my CLI toolkit for a bit, and this looks like it'll make it easy for me to try out some alternatives. Thank you for putting the time and energy in to create it.


I bumped into three blog posts a while ago that listed similar modern alternatives – lots of overlap:

https://darrenburns.net/posts/more-tools

https://darrenburns.net/posts/even-more-tools


Awesome. Would be nice if the utils were marked as zero dependency and/or cross platform.



Just what I've been looking for! Thanks for making this. I'd love to see someone build a "new" userland with all the old gnu tools replaced where there's a good modern alternative.


Awesome list. Double awesome that almost all tools are cross-platform.


love it. very easy to understand what the tool can do :)
