It retreads the same old, tired argument that Rust developers have been disproving it for so long, i.e. "Just write good C code" or in this case "Just battle test it"
Though don't you think that your criteria would affect all the "X subpar re-implemented in Rust" submissions there are same thing all the time only X changes.
My argument is actually that Rust cannot replace C because it's not portable enough.
I would love for Rust to be portable enough.
