   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.

            Rewriting it all in rust with bug for bug compatibility and byte identical outputs won’t cost more than $100k in tokens, but I don’t think this is an answer you’re looking for
