That’s a weird take. I would expect it not being the same cost to do a rewrite in Rust, like, not at all.

You can do it incrementally with C++, not to mention not needing to hire a team of rust developers. I don’t think you want to let a team of C++ devs that are just learning Rust do a full rewrite as their first big project experience.

Also, when switching from, say, C++20 to C++23, thinking it’s the same amount of work as a full rewrite in Rust is laughable.
