Most of these tools are small enough and simple enough that they sort of "get finished." Probably not interesting but to some purists.
There is something to be said for the nice clean implementations of some of these tools. There is a little to be said for the language itself.
Really, something bigger and better is needed. A new HTTP server, a new sendmail or something, a new DNS server. I'd love to see Go or Rust take on Bind and produce a safe, secure, high performance implementation. The Ada guys never stepped up and produced anything interesting to show their tools' superiority, there is a lot more interest and community in Rust and Go. What's the leakiest, buggiest part of the equation right now? Go make a better one.
