It’s the new C/C++ but also you can write Rust like you’re writing Golang.

None of that sounds appealing on its own.

Ready for the downvote wave. :D

This is a thread about a shell. That’s very much the sort of project that is typically written in C, and also the sort of project that really benefits from being written in something safer.

It’s fine if writing systems languages doesn’t appeal to you, but they fulfil an important niche in. V8, Hotspot, Cpython all have to be written in something.

You assumed a lot about me from one sentence. This is why people dislike the rust evangelism.
