    Rust is great, but anybody developing something should have the ability to choose whatever programming language they prefer. If you want it made with rust, make it yourself.

      Of course, but it still makes sense to think carefully about the advantages of disadvantages of the tools you use when starting any project.

      If were just a personal project that they’re building entirely on their own then sure, go nuts and do whatever you want. But they’re trying to gain adoption, asking for contribution, and wanting to replace other browsers. At that point it’s no longer just a personal choice if you’re asking the community to invest their time and money into it with you

        It originally started as just a fun side project.
        But even if it hadn’t, are you suggesting we should no longer start big/community projects in C++?

        Picking an unsafe language has the added benefit of distancing yourself from the toxic rust-or-die crowd, who can’t seem to mind their own damn business.
