The new codebase is apparently in Rust. Perhaps the parent is being sarcastic with respect to the quantity of results here: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=rewrite+in+Rust

The old codebase was also in Rust. So I don't think this applies here.

I said "assuming". In no way I was pretending to be correct. Just a wild guess.
