An interesting successful (and contemporary) non GNU project is jq
their homepage explicitly mentions sed, awk and grep
So they know the GNU userland tools
I wonder how comes jq is not a GNU project
@abbienormal because they don’t want to? Just cause you know sed, her and ask doesn’t mean that you refer to the GNU versions. There is a thing called Unix, and BSD, and ….
Ah so they don't want to
Of course! How could I not think of this possibility ?
I wonder why they didn't want to though
