      Reinventing and reimplementing are different things.
      Keep in mind that Rust brings true memory safety (more than you'll ever get in Java or Python) and great opportunities for aggresive optimization by the compiler, even compared to C.

                I'd rather have a girlfriend/wife than ebb away my life on a project that isn't lacking.

                  My point was that time could be used to work on more important projects instead of re-implementing Rust in emacs.

                    Maybe writing Emacs in Rust is the most important project for the person who did it.
