Maybe writing things in rust is a good idea, but perhaps not stuff that’s already battle hardened, IMO.
Some people _love_ to learn the hard way, but some never learn. And, as someone said: "But that's what happens when there is no incentive for people to do the parts of programming that aren't fun. Fixing bugs isn't fun; going through the bug list isn't fun; but rewriting everything from scratch is fun (because "this time it will be done right", ha ha) and so that's what happens, over and over again.
