Ok, I really like the approach Rust is taking and appreciate their effort to make low-level system programming safer, but it really is getting ridiculous. Not that implementing a DB system in Rust would be infeasible, but advocating to just rewrite some large projects in Rust is probably not the step forward.

Waiting for a flamewar on the LKML on this.

"Hey, Linux devs. I heard there is this nice language called Rust. Do you mind rewriting your OS in this? Ok, might not be possible over the weekend, but maybe over a year? Maybe use some Deep Learning to automagically transform the code?"

I smell an upcoming Linus Rust rant.
