why not Rewrite It In Rust (RIIR)
Because Hexa is obviously better.
Rust is an almost legacy literally 12-year old language appeared publicly in 2012 which means that its concepts may be outdated by modern standards.
No. This is a joke.
I don't, actually. I believe that those who spend their time asking people to rewrite their projects are probably not themselves active Rust developers, as those active devs are probably busy writing memory-safe code.
