QEMU should move from C to Rust

I find it odd that for the solution proposed for solving problems with C that are explicitly solved by C++ is not to move the code-base to C++ but to an incompatible language, like Rust. Nothing against Rust, but sounds more like someone who wants to work on Rust.

I always wonder about the specifics of how these happen!

Once I read someone saying they where blind and had forgotten the context or navigated back or something without noticing. I think there were some interesting follow up questions as well.

Exactly—I bet the reasons are often surprising.
