Have you ever rewritten a project in a completely different language?

  To be fair, ffmpeg is highly modular, some parts of it are probably already in Rust. I feel like rewriting certain extremely high-use libraries like libx264 could be done if like, 5 really productive Rust engineers with codec experience took it on for 12 months. I’m not saying it’s needed, just that ffmpeg is the kind of thing that could be rewritten gradually if there was interest and a lot of dedicated talent.
