I 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.

I don't think every project has to be a crucial endeavor or a new thing. Let people do things for fun. > A fork of openssl in rust? Yes yes yes. https://github.com/ctz/rustls https://github.com/ctz/rustls

  I never implied you can't do stuff for fun. Projects done for fun are not "marketed" as "a replacement for X"

    I don't see this being marketed as a replacement for Git anywhere.

A git repo is often received from untrusted source in internet and there were associated bugs in git.
