My guess is that since the rest of the project (not in PS itself) is in C, it’s in C. And it may be borrowing from the PS interpreter codebase. I dunno.

Requiring another skillset, toolchain, etc. is onerous and has to be weighed in those decisions. Rust is cool for sure, but difficult to adopt in brownfield projects because of humans more than tech.

Also, it wasn’t written on in 2022, just made the default now. GS is a venerable codebase, and jumping on a “new” language bandwagon may have seemed dangerous at the time it was started.

All conjecture. I’m not an expert or involved.
