sometimes i have to chuckle when reading headlines on here.<p>if someone has no IT knowledge, or maybe just doesn't know rust or fish, "Rust Port for Fish Shell" is probably undecipherable. Doesn't even sound like something related to IT.<p>since when do fish have shells and why is the port rusty, and why do these fish even need a port?!?
I get the value of Rust, if not the extreme enthusiasm surrounding it sometimes.<p>With regard to a larger project like this, I'm more interested in is the buy-in of the major contributors of of the fish shell. Are they all in on it? Is it just decided that leaving a few behind and losing their deep knowledge is worth it?<p>All of these "Rewrite in xyz" strike me as impractical, but it's never my place to tell someone to stop the impractical.
