The FUC-ing project provides modern unix commands focused on performance:

- [`cpz`](cpz)
- [`rmz`](rmz)

Benchmarks are available under the [`comparisons`](comparisons) folder.

## Goals

1. Performance: if a reasonable improvement can be made, it will be.
2. Efficiency: when only negligible performance improvements are left, remaining efforts are
   focussed on minimizing wasted compute.
3. Usability: where applicable, the UX of existing commands is improved.

## Non-goals

- Portability: FUCs are primarily targeted at modern Linux installations. Support for other
  platforms is provided on a best-efforts basis.
- Compatibility: [coreutils](https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils) or
  its [Rust re-implementation](https://github.com/uutils/coreutils) will have the broadest and most
  stable set of options.
