Wow they actually did it! Congratulations and welcome to the age of second-gen systems languages!
Seems one of the main reasons is to use Rust’s thread safety to enable “concurrent mode”. Anyone with the knowledge able to explain what advantages that would yield for an end fish user?
End user shouldn’t care what PL the software is written in. Their advantages and disadvantages are meaningful for developers only.
Except they affect the end result.
These rewrites in rust are merely just training exercises for those doing it. It wasn’t needed and in most cases isnt used.
Angry downvotes because people don’t like to hear that a meme language is a meme language.
Probably not “angry” downvotes. OP provided a link where it’s explained exactly why the switch was made. Even if you don’t care for Rust it’s pretty clear that this was done with more purpose than just “Ooo let’s make it in Rust for fun”
And even if it was for fun, that would still be valid. The project is run by volunteers. If they don’t have fun, they stop doing it.
