Since the top subthread comment has been predictably flagged by the clique:
Rewriting is easier than doing original work. If you manage to get people to use "your" new Rust project, you get a huge payoff for comparatively little work with lots of plagiarizing.
- oblio 6y agoSomeone should have told Linus to stop plagiarizing. Heck, someone should have told Stallman and GNU, too. Your argument is quite flawed.
- linkdd 6y agoI just think there is more crucial project to rewrite than git, vim, etc... At this point, it's just falling for the hype. The same thing happenned with go, es6, etc... "X is better than Y because it is written in Z" is not a valid argument. A kernel in Rust? Yes please. A browser in rust? Can't wait. A fork of openssl in rust? Yes yes yes. A cli tool? Why? Is it really necessary? And yes it is a genuine question, not some random rant.
