There used to be lsring by Jens Axboe (author of io_uring), but it no longer exists. This is more extreme than abandoning the project. Perhaps there is some issue with using io_uring this way, perhaps vulnerabilities are exposed.

... no. It's just not interesting or particularly valuable to optimize ls, and Jens probably just used it as a demo and didn't want to keep it around.

I'm sure there are uses in Bash scripts that could benefit from it but most people would use it directly in a compiled program, I suppose, if the performance was a reoccurring need.
