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

    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.
