Sure, if you are willing to help, here's my wishlist:
- I wish we can freeze libssh and write everything new in Rust.
- I wish we can freeze CPython and write everything new in Rust.
- ...
Can you do it for free? At work I'm busy maintaining old projects in C++ and writing new ones in Rust. Since I'm not getting paid to rewrite or maintain our dependencies full-time I can't do above. Oh, I'm not paid to initiate an effort to freeze our old projects either.
If this sounds too harsh:
- I wish we can freeze ZMK [1] and write everything new in Rust (or Zig, though it's not memory safe, whatever).
That's about one of my hobbies and I always wanted to do it.
