My comment is upvoted to +7 because it's not pedantry; it's just an assessment of the current state of rewriting those projects in Rust, which is that it hasn't happened yet.

In theory it could happen, and the Python project seems to be much closer than I had imagined was possible at this point. But it's not likely to.



With the advent of LLMs, I think it's more and more likely we'll see core C projects converted to Rust. People even like converting stuff to Rust for their own amusement.


Maybe there's a world where we successfully get CPython re-written in Rust and that RustyPython becomes Python 4.


It was grey when I saw it.


My original comment is now negative. Oops. I must be more careful to keep my contributions positive in the future


I thought your original comment was positive. I really appreciate the good news!
