I can't wait for all the delicious four-way flamewars. Choose your fighter!

1) Rewrite X in Rust

2) Recompile X using Fil-C

3) Recompile X for WASM

4) Safety is for babies

There are a lot of half baked Rust rewrites whose existence was justified on safety grounds and whose rationale is threatened now that HN has heard of Fil-C
