It's good they know they need to be cautious about it (a year seems a bit optimistic though), but "haven’t had many issues" kinda sounds concerning if it means I cannot boot (or given sudo-rs lacks sudoedit currently, locking me out the system)...<p><a href="https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/carefully-but-purposefully-oxidising-ubuntu/56995" rel="nofollow">https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/carefully-but-purposefully-ox...</a> seems to have more discussions asking why they're not using existing infrastructure to manage the transition.
Pardon my ignorance and I understand the appeal of keeping everything within one cohesive language, but are some of the these core utilities really being made "safer" by rewriting them in rust?<p>I mean, is 'cp' really unsafe in C and will be magically safe in Rust?<p>Or is this partly to appeal to the comfort of having one uniform language?<p>Admittedly in the long term regardless these rewrites may well pay off quite well.
