Posted this in a thread yesterday but seems relevant, I have been working on similar open source rewrites. Starting with Lua and Nginx. Trying to target idiomatic/ performant safe Rust from the start than straight porting and adding safety/ performance later.

- Valkey/ Redis port here https://github.com/ianm199/valdr (passes ~99% of single node test suite, real prod features like replication/ clustering/ HA early or not implemented)

- Further along port of Lua 5.1-5.5 https://github.com/ianm199/lua-rs-port/tree/main

- I have a less developed nginx version that would be the North Star

- These projects are very alpha at the moment.

The thought was that we might need many “shots on net” in terms of software safety in the future so worth exploring.
