But, hummm… Some people do use Rust for software where other languages are a better fit. But usually not in public. You see a lot of libraries helping people to use Rust in GUIs or web applications, but all the Rust rewrites people talk about are for stuff better done in Rust.
1:1 rewrites of ironed-out tools introduce bugs first. Not a fan of it. Better do a re-implementation of the original tools’ idea. For example, i quite like fd.
Is this a masochism thing?
Rust users are informally called Rustaceans and there’s even a book for them:
Amusing but I still prefer formally call them the “rustic people”
All the other options are worse.
