While I agree that a rewrite of Nginx in Rust probably isn't the best use of resources, I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the idea of writing an Nginx equivalent. And you might as well do that in Rust. There are things I'd love to see in this space. For instance I'd love a proxy that explores the idea of being fully configurable via a gRPC API and which can delegate decisions to some other service (over gRPC). (Doesn't the commercial Nginx have some of these features?)
