I'm not sure how modifying the compiler is relevant to the point. I think it's the general trend that early in languages lives its much easier to contribute to the tools, after decades of amassing improvements (such as yours!) they tend to become less accessible.

But regardless, the "rewrite in rust" advocacy has created a significant opportunity for projects created by single people, without outside review and often without significant domain expertise (at least where they are slavish re-implementations of existing code), to be proposed as replacements for longstanding stable tools. Whatever the merits of that chance it's also dream for someone looking to introduce new vulnerabilities. Even where the replacement itself is reviewed it will usually come with a massively expanded dependency footprint which isn't.

The compiler is illustrative. A large piece of Rust software, nevertheless easier to read and contribute to when compared to similar software in the same category.

Um, no.
