    Ok, valid, is sudo (in this case) actively developed? Hom much maintenance does it require?

    All these analogies amount to what exactly? New == better?

    I get the enthusiasm for new shiny thing, especially when the new tool is better. But why do we need something like sudo rewriten? How does it make lives easier?

    There’s a saying: if it ain’t broke… I’m trying to figure how and why it’s broken and all I see just a selling pitch for the language.

      The analogy is “this building is working and tested, but it something DOES break it’s a huge pain to fix it.” whereas in rust it would be relatively painless. I don’t know if that’s worth rewriting it in rust but if the rust fanatics want to do it then eh why not.
