# 🦀 rm-rs: A Blazingly Fast™ File Removal Tool

## 🚀 Overview

Introducing `rm-rs`, a revolutionary, memory-safe, blazingly fast implementation of the `rm` command! Written in pure, safe Rust! 

### 🔥 Key Features

- Blazingly Fast™ file removal capabilities

- Zero-cost abstractions for deleting files

- 100% Memory Safe!

- No unsafe code blocks!

- Fearless file deletion

- Built with Rust's world-class package manager, Cargo

## 🛠️ Installation 

```bash

cargo install rm-rs

```

## 📊 Benchmarks

| Command | Time | Memory Usage |

|---------|------|--------------|

| Original `rm` | 1ms | 1MB |

| `rm-rs` | 1ms + Rust runtime | 1MB + Rust runtime |

As you can see, we've achieved nearly identical performance to the original `rm` command, but now it's in Rust! 

## 🤔 Why rm-rs?

- Are you tired of using battle-tested Unix tools written in C?

- Do you believe everything should be rewritten in Rust?

- Do you enjoy adding unnecessary layers of abstraction?

Then `rm-rs` is perfect for you!

## 🔒 Security

Thanks to Rust's ownership model and strict compiler, we can guarantee that this wrapper around the system's `rm` command is absolutely memory safe*!

*Until it calls the actual `rm` command, but we don't talk about that part.

## 🤝 Contributing

1. Rewrite it in Rust (oh wait, we already did that)

2. Add more unnecessary abstractions

3. Create more type-safe wrappers around system calls

4. Write "blazingly fast" at least three times in your PR description

Because that's what every Rust project does.

## 🎯 Future Roadmap

- Rewrite `ls` in Rust

- Rewrite `cd` in Rust

- Rewrite the entire GNU coreutils in Rust

- Rewrite the universe in Rust

Remember: If it ain't broke, rewrite it in Rust anyway! 🦀
