I believe it's Rewrite it in Rust
- xpe 5y agoAh, there is nothing like perjorative acronyms ... they seem to be designed to shut down thinking rather than invite more of it. Let's not forget that: 1. new programming languages bring excitement, creative destruction, and yes, lots of hobby projects that don't turn into battle-tested products. I'm ok with that. 2. rewriting is not the same as re-envisioning. See the comment above. SQLite was a starting point for inspiration, not the destination. Also, we should not conflate an underlying technology with the hype around that technology: a. Just because there is a lot of hype around Rust does not mean the advantages of Rust should be overlooked b. Some highly-praised technologies deserve the praise. Yes, sometimes even the cynics are wrong.
