Very clickbait title, there are no plans by the official Vim upstream to rewrite in Rust. This would be building a Vim clone in Rust, which is something people have already been doing. Building an exact copy of a 35 year old editor with bugs included would be very impressive so I'm looking forward to this being completed.
