There is a good reason I'm not migrating to rust: I have 15million lines of C++ that we have written over the years, for a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars (probably over a billion by now). There is no way we can migrate to rust for less than more hundreds of millions, there is also the loss of new features that our competition can add while we are doing the migration effort.

I'm looking at how to fit rust into our project, but it isn't easy. I can report already that bad programmers in rust write worse code than great programmers in C++...
