This is unfair. No one said anything like that in this thread. We know what we have. We also know that a "memory safe language" does not prevent bugs. Neither does a "stronger approach to unit testing". Rewriting code means adding new bugs, whether or not the tools catch some of them. But for fun, let's assume that we eventually end up with fewer serious bugs in the rewritten software. How long will that take? One stable release? Two? Are we expected to just accept regressions for a while, because the rust reimplementations eventually will catch up with what we have today? Or could we require the new software to get there before the switch? What's the hurry here? BTW, reaching for "modern" means that you will never succeed. It will always be what's coming next. Bjørn
