Rust is much more of a drop in replacement for C/C++ than Java ever was, and it carries some serious benefits over C/C++ like proper memory management and a modern library and packaging system.
Rebasing to Rust might genuinely be a good idea for some of these tools.
Sounds dumb. Like when Java was supposed to be able to do everything, but this is faster. Doesn’t make it not dumb.
I wouldn’t necessarily call it dumb.
