Show HN: Grsh – A high-performance shell for FreeBSD written in Rust I built GRSH because I wanted a modern, memory-safe shell that feels native to FreeBSD but works seamlessly on macOS.<p>While there are many shells out there, GRSH is my take on a minimal, fast, and secure command interpreter written entirely in Rust. It&#x27;s designed for users who want the safety guarantees of Rust without the overhead of more bloated alternatives.<p>I&#x27;m currently working on the official FreeBSD port. I’d love to get feedback on the shell&#x27;s behavior and performance from the community.<p>Github: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;antoniomalara301289&#x2F;grsh" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;antoniomalara301289&#x2F;grsh</a>
