  • Can someone explain to me why Rust enthusiasts are so evangelical about it? I get that it’s memory safe, OK - super great. But rewriting a stable, small-but-important legacy tool doesn’t seem like a good place to prove its worth. Surely there are a million better places? And yet when I heard about this, it totally seemed to track. I’ve never touched Rust but I already find its proponents to be strangely focused on it. I never felt such religious zeal with regard to a programming language.
