Times like this i'm glad i'm still on Mercurial (no `strcpy` overflows in Python). Is anyone planning on writing a DVCS in Rust?

Yes, pijul: https://pijul.org/

Almost certainly.

Which reminds me of a (partial) Haskell git implementation: http://stefan.saasen.me/articles/git-clone-in-haskell-from-t...

Previously posted to HN a number times, e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8713328

It wouldn't have to be a new DVCS. It could be a Rust implementation of Git. e.g. Java Git implementation (JGit) used by Eclipse, Gerrit, etc.

Pijul, linked in a sibling comment, appears to actually be a Rust implementation of Darcs (or at least inspired by it).

Pijul is not a reimplementation of darcs, it's based on a new theory, without the performance drawbacks of darcs.

Btw, rewriting darcs would really feel like reinventing the wheel. Haskell is safe and great already.
