I don't care - porting the current architecture - with all the known I wish I had done this differently's - doesn't gain much. See some developers I've worked with who love Rust for "safety", even though they just put everything in unsafe at the first sign of trouble instead of thinking about how this should work safely.
Porting to a new language is easy, but does nothing useful. What we need is to fix the mistakes of the past so we can get to the future. We need to make acceptable performance.
