This “x implemented in y” is a curious thing we are seeing with growing frequency nowadays (imo). On the one hand, good for these folks, to be rewriting something old in a new way (be it language, library, or framework). On the other hand, could this be an indicator that we’ve reached a certain level where it is easier to rehash the ideas of the past than create new work or invent new ideas or applications? Maybe someone with a more classical education can comment on how this manifests in the arts?
- geodel 6y agoYeah, roughly something like doing cover versions of older songs but with modern, state of the art music arrangement. From what I know people do seem to love that.

- hojjat12000 6y agoThat should be fairly easy in Rust.
- secondcoming 6y agoThe best way to learn a language is to port an existing tool to that language. Whether the rewrite is better depends on how you measure 'better', but what's certain is that someone gets to put 'I know Rust' on their CV.
