Super mega ultra hard. It would take so much time for us to learn rust, port everything including all tooling, and fix new bugs we introduce that we wouldn't add any new features (but lots of new bugs!) for like 2-4 years and the company would die.

Thanks for your input. I have no exp at all on db internals, but could you expand your thoughts on the possibility of moving critical (storage layer?) parts to Rust and leave all the networking stuff/rest in Go? Similar to what TiDb have done?
