I havent made any bookmarks about that but I recall such things appearing here time to time, in threads and as posts. (Edit: there are nearly 4.5k issues with their title containing rewrite rust on github: https://github.com/search?p=2&q=rewrite+rust&type=Issues https://github.com/search?p=2&q=rewrite+rust&type=Issues)

Well, from just the repo language panel in the left, it looks like the vast majority of those are issues including those words on rust codebases.

Out of those 4.5k issues, 1000 are closed. 2600 of them are on Rust repositories. Clicking on the first other one, "shell", the very first result is on the Rust RFCs repo. Let's look at the first page overall: https://github.com/TOTBWF/SteamCurses/issues/16 https://github.com/TOTBWF/SteamCurses/issues/16 is someone who is making an issue on their own project because they are interested in a Rust re-write. https://github.com/acrisci/i3-style/pull/38 https://github.com/acrisci/i3-style/pull/38 is someone who has a PR open on their own project to re-write in Rust. https://github.com/mintsuki/storm/issues/2 https://github.com/mintsuki/storm/issues/2 is someone being obnoxious, sure. Not serious, but you could also say it's annoying. https://github.com/tkaden4/karat/issues/2 https://github.com/tkaden4/karat/issues/2 is someone on their own repo. https://github.com/jezen/is-thirteen/issues/582 https://github.com/jezen/is-thirteen/issues/582 is already on a joke project, so it's also a joke. https://github.com/dadrian/whereiszakir/issues/4 https://github.com/dadrian/whereiszakir/issues/4 is someone on their own project. https://github.com/adangert/telegram-events-bot/issues/1 https://github.com/adangert/telegram-events-bot/issues/1 does seem like an actual random person making a real suggestion. https://github.com/spencereir/pharbot/issues/1 https://github.com/spencereir/pharbot/issues/1 is being meme-y so probably not serious, still annoying. https://github.com/ansuz/RIIR/issues/35 https://github.com/ansuz/RIIR/issues/35 is on a repo specifically to track this phenomenon. It has 35 issues open. Many of which aren't actually examples of people saying this. https://github.com/jezen/is-thirteen/issues/497 https://github.com/jezen/is-thirteen/issues/497 is a second issue on the joke project above. ------------------------------ So, yes. Out of 900 possible issues, in the top 10, one may be a serious request, and two are shitposting, which may be annoying as well, admittedly, but is just as likely to come from people complaining about this as from "The rust community" broadly. At that level, it's effectively noise.
