Direct questions, from a someone who knows that Rust has a lot to offer while also has experienced the pain of re-writes: 1. How do you propose to handle changes to fish while the re-write is in progress? Should fish/C++ stop evolving?

The availability of age as a Go library means that it's easy to embed age into other tools. For example chezmoi supports age encryption for your sensitive dotfiles, and you don't even have to install age on your machine to use it.
