> I think of rolling the dice as taking a chance without any knowledge of the chance for it paying of. I think hoping a Rust rewrite would fix "complex runtime issues which were almost impossible to reproduce or isolate" as rolling the dice. If you cannot reproduce or isolate an issue, how can you know a rewrite in another language will fix the issue?

"Almost impossible" is not quite "impossible", and once you have done the almost impossible a few times and isolated the cause of some of the problems, you may have gained some apprehension of the scale of the overall problem you are facing.
