Would you be interested to re-activate this project? Are you available for (open source) contract work to that effect?

Of course!

I can't help but notice the fact that language choice is put first. For document-organizer almost any language would work fine, there's no need for super-optimized memory management. Much more important would be language+ecosystem security and speed of safe development, IMHO.

Perhaps. However, this doesn't necessarily mean "almost any language" is approximately equal in general nor for this domain in particular.

Also, open source projects tend to involve a whole broad set of motivations.

Thanks to the author for sharing this! I aspire to have the same gratitude even if it was written in Cold Fusion.

This is not the only benefit of Rust.

Note: I can see hints of constructive criticism in the above comment... (But what are the specifics? Probably not rewrite in another language, methinks. To change the README?) ... so I'm offering constructive criticism as well. I can also see what might be armchair quarterbacking and overlooking of personal motivations.

Depends on the scale, and the original comment in this thread mention "serious performance issues" as something they care about, so choosing a faster language is not that far fetched as an idea (algorithms trump but still...)
