If it ain't broke don't fix it.

The slides are linked, at https://sylvestre.ledru.info/presentations/coreutils-fosdem-... (for example), if you don't want to watch a video which discusses why they're doing it.
It might be broke.
Fresh, non battle tested code is more likely to be broken in subtle ways.
Nonsense, Rust never breaks.

edit: still got it :)

(In case it wasn't clear, the downvotes are probably coming because you appear to have entirely missed the point - you replied to a comment saying "the C tooling is not broken" with "nonsense, Rust doesn't break", which as far as I can tell is a complete non-sequitur.)
the downvotes are because rust is the darling of hn while still having faults, but you're not allowed to say the silent part
