I'm simply of the opinion that a single blog post isn't enough info for you to make a judgement call on whether a rewrite or a port is a good idea or not. Criticizing an article without even pointing out any specific criticisms (saying their technical reasons are "weak" isn't actually pointing out a flaw in their explanation, it's just you voicing your personal opinion) just seems to me like people are disagreeing out of habit or principle rather than that they actually have a reason why this company is making a bad decision. Again, it's a blog post to announce their decision and explain their thought process. It wasn't a blog post meant to persuade lossolo that this port is required. For all you know, the decision making in the backroom might have been much more argumentative and demanding of a justification than what was written in a blog post. And yes, people who hate on Rust on principle do rub me the wrong way. The pendulum has swung too far the other way; there are more annoying people complaining about Rust these days than annoying people rewriting things in Rust.
