    No, more like

    use std::process::Command; fn main() { Command::new("sh").arg("-c").arg("echo Hello World!").spawn().unwrap(); }
    

    .
    Just a little bit shorter, as it seems /s

        Yes and no. While coreutils does provide an echo binary, shells also have a built-in for optimisation purposes.

        At first I had the code calling the binary directly, but then changed it to spawning a shell (and so using the builtin). It’s very cursed either way.
