I too am not convinced that Haskell tools have to be replaced by Rust ones. In my eyes Rust's main applicability in this situation would be to replace C/C++ tools.

As for other kinds of bugs, yeah, that's inevitable, but I still prefer to have the memory safety bugs eliminated from the get go so I'd still say it's a worthy sacrifice to walk the road to safe tools one more time just for the memory safety.

So yeah, no need to rewrite tools in already memory safe languages but when it comes to C/C++ tools then yes, we need to rewrite them.
