    Angry downvotes because people don’t like to hear that a meme language is a meme language.

      Probably not “angry” downvotes. OP provided a link where it’s explained exactly why the switch was made. Even if you don’t care for Rust it’s pretty clear that this was done with more purpose than just “Ooo let’s make it in Rust for fun”

        And even if it was for fun, that would still be valid. The project is run by volunteers. If they don’t have fun, they stop doing it.
