Something I'm surprised ESR didn't consider is the fact that Rust lets you do a piecemeal translation. You can rewrite individual functions in Rust and call them from C very easily. So you don't need to rewrite all 62KLOC at once.


Go more or less allows you to do the same, but I've heard there are some pain points.

In any case, Rust would probably require some rearchitecturing anyway.
