Of course it's not. But hubris is possible and does not take years to master. And honestly statements like my overnight-rust-sudo is better than some poor peoples 40 years of work... well they don't really help Rust becoming more popular, but actually contribute to everything rust becoming even more irritating. Most rust tools are released with this pathos of "we fix what oldies couldn't get right with C". Not a great attitude to approach giants whose shoulders we're standing on indeed.

Who said anything about "overnight"? This project has been worked on for a year, implemented a test suite that found bugs in the original sudo, and have generally been respectful of the original work.

I think you might be projecting something here, there's no evidence for for your assertions.
