    Exactly! I would never PR, extend or build off find.c, And I sure as shit I’m not gonna work on C or C++ in my own free time. However, Rust is really fun to use, and it’s got a great ecosystem. In this vein, this is a good thing for the community, and it’s not just hype.

    The Fish blog post discussed this and I think they had a good point when they were talking about how hard it was to get contributors from a large pool when they were working with C++.

    Without a doubt, anything you can do in Rust you can do in C and C++, but I think it’s fair to say the large majority of people are going to be more productive in Rust or at least have a more enjoyable development experience.
