Perhaps we can create a channel on the dlang Slack for proofreading articles and blog posts, so that more people can have a chance to review an article before publishing.

That's a really good idea!

I have been using it at work and it's working perfectly. This functionality was already supported by FreeBSD [1] for ~15 years, but the coreutils developers implemented it just ~3 years ago [2]. This is great, thanks! I just checked, and it's available in Debian stable, so most distros should have it by now.

I used slack once for a short period some time ago. Any dlang slack member can invite new members by their email (I think even temporary email addresses are fine). On which email shall I send you an invite?

I was missing this feature often, I'm glad I found it recently ;)

Yes, I think it's safe to use on Linux nowadays. In the worst case a user may need to upgrade their coreutils. I just mention this because a teammate was still on Ubuntu 16.04 or 18.04 so he had to upgrade [1].

I used Python for scripting, but D lang is better, I don't need install interpreter for execute it. I hope someay fobos have same support as Python library.
