Oh, it's not the language. It's the type of people who not only like Rust, but have a compulsion / need / fixation on re-writing existing tools. They say it's so it's more secure, but honestly it's so they can apply their own opinions of how the tool should be. They always promise to make it a drop in replacement, but then then get rid of options, or change what they do... they can't help themselves. And that is the kind of people who volunteer to port tools to Rust. If they would stick to true 1:1 replacement, this wouldn't be an issue.
