I think a lot of rust rewrites have this benefit; if you start with hindsight you can do better more easily. Of course, rust is also often beneficial for its own sake, so it's a one-two punch:)

Got it so, because it is rust it is good.. 10-4!!
Someone once told me a benefit of staffing a project for Haskell was it made it easy to select for the types of programmers that went out of their way to become experts in Haskell.
Tapping the Rust community is a decent reason to do a project in Rust.
