  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

      I did too. Multiple times in fact, I had to look at the other Rust code!

    Isn’t echo a shell builtin?

      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.
