Why not rewritten in rust?

(someone had to do this)

Actually, not such a bad question, if worded poorly. There's at least Synapse[1]. It even has a third-part broker to accept transmission GUIs by Drew DeVault[2]. Why didn't they just reuse Transmission protocol from the get-go, to leverage the great Transmission-Remote-GUI[3] for example, is beyond me.

Unfortunately, there's just not enough interest in the project and no adoption.

Transmission, at least previously, never have been too resource-friendly, so a lean and mean Rust alternative would be great.

No seriously, I am a rustacean too, but please stop telling everyone to Rewrite everything in Rust (even if its only a joke), its becoming slightly annoying
