   It is regrettable that they're trying to coerce the use of Rust everywhere just for the sake of it. It's a nonsense that is now forced on everyone.

      I don't think it's "just for the sake of it". I think they believe that the Rust code will be safer.

         If that's the case, they should stop using git and Linux right now, because it's everything written in C. Having 0.1% of the code in a safe language will not change anything, it's only a bad security blanket.

            You don't believe in slowly and iteratively improving a codebase over time? Should git stick with its weird mishmash of C and perl and shell scripts forever, for tradition's sake, performance and maintainability be damned?
