I can't help but view "rewrite evrrything in Rust" as a religious movement, not something motivated by practicality.


Remember when C# was the chosen language that was going to unleash the productivity promised for decades? There were even Mono and DotGNU meant to bring those benefits to the *nix heathens without us bowing before statues of Gates and Ballmer. It was good in some ways, but not miraculous.

I feel like we'll all say the same once the wave of Rusticrucian evangelism is quieted by real world failures.
