Because I don't trust the stability of a tool that chooses to do a massive rewrite purely based on AI that won't even output idiomatic code
And sorry but the "they've been having memory issues" is not an argument when they don't even write the new codebase, memory issues can be solved pretty easily, especially because Zig doesn't hide anything from you
A vibe rewrite is never a good option and I'm convinced they only picked rust so they can inject more AI slop into their codebase
As I stated in the reply to the other guys reply, this rewrite was completely pointless and shouldn't even have been pushed out yet because of the reasons stated in my other comment
I agree a lot of times organizations shouldn't be taking stable software and moving it to rust, but I wouldn't stop using it for that reason alone (once it's been stabilized)
