So is it worth the hassle of introducing a new language? I like the enthusiasm argument, but tbh I don't see many Rust devs become interested developing core Ruby just because a small part of it is written in Rust.
My gut feeling is saying better to just keep it in C.
But anyway super excited about what the Shopify guys are doing, I want them to succeed no matter what approach they choose.
