That might be what you’re talking about but it sure isn’t what I’m talking about and I never said a single word about the actual merits of rewriting vs keeping something in C. I summarized my actual statements in the previous comment. You might infer (and quite reasonably so) a claim that a rust rewrite would be more secure. But any statement about the overall usefulness of such an endeavor is solely in your imagination.
