- docandrew 4y agoI dunno, they put their money where their mouth is by bringing in code and offering some reasonable justification for the switch. I think this is a great example of how such proposals should be made.
- brandonmenc 4y agoI’m just talking about the content of the message in the post. Like, the “modern and relevant” line is exactly the sort of thing you’d say in a parody. But I agree that they are actually doing the work and not just tossing out a suggestion and that’s great.

- brandonmenc 4y agoI understand all of that, and that’s great, but it doesn’t change the fact that I chuckled and had to do a double take when I first read the PR message because it looks like someone asked ChatGPT to “write a suggestion to rewrite it in rust in the style of an overzealous rustacean.”
