Don’t think we’re there yet, otherwise we would see a bunch of forks of major libraries to alternative languages - and not just Python. There’s still too much risk of insidious errors and bugs.

I've done thus a few times for stuff in the < 10,000 LOC space. It works great.

There's something particularly satisfying about shipping a 1-10MB static rust binary instead of a 2GiB docker python environment.

(I'm talking about just porting simple applications, or maybe a missing package/crate at a time. Not both at once, and not typical 100K-10M line internal legacy sprawl)

What have you ported, for example? Any 3PL or all internal code?
