I don't understand, not the critics, not the project.

Why insult something that someone obviously put a lot of care into?

The code is nicely formatted and clear. I can see how it works. Props to harthur for making something easy to read and then sharing it on Github. Both readable code and sharing should be encouraged.

I don't really get why someone would want to implement text processing utilities in node.js. It seems to be a bit heavy on the overhead.

Might someone re-implement harthur's user interface (which a bunch of people seem to like) in c, and submit it to the GNU Coreutils project?
