People have been rewriting and improving misc unix cli tools with better, prettier, faster, more convenient apis, plus speed.

It'd be fun to write one of these!

On my list:

  • cp - create missing dirs when they don't exist
  • mkdir - create missing dirs when they don't exist
  • ln - create missing dirs when they don't exist
