Ironic? not really. I'm not doubting that rust is an improvement.

alas, in the massive mono repo where I work, this is not the case.
What I'm doubting is the effort currently being expended telling me that rust is superior and will solve all of $project's problems with one simple quick re-write. I'm too fucking old for this naive carbonfibre/innovation token sucking evangelism.
rust is fun, great!
rust is memory safe, brilliant!
Rust is fast, super!
now fix the fucking bugs in your existing code, don't make me wait for a failed re-write to not deliver the features we need.
problem: "our CLI tools are fragmented, incoherent and badly documented"
solution: "we are now re-writing everything in rust! its so much faster"
