Oxidizing Ubuntu: adopting Rust utilities by default 1 year ago
It looks like a corporate project with all the required hype and lingo. Ubuntu was nice around version 10, it went downhill with spyware, snap, etc.
"There are countless examples in the open source community of tools being re-engineered, and re-imagined using tools and practices that have only relatively recently become available."
Recently? You can use Ada or OCaml, which is a better Rust. You can use C with formal proofs and not constantly rewrite everything.
But that of course is the point. No rewrites, no easy money for the corporate OSS "developers".
