I'd like to see Steve Yegge unleash his Gas Town with a convoy or whatever it's called to rewrite the sqlite in Rust obviously preserving 100% test coverage. Results are a guaranteed bombshell regardless of whether it succeeds or fails.
What’s Steve Yegge got to do with Rust? And who’s gonna sponsor some 10,000 hours to “rewrite the sqlite in Rust obviously preserving 100% test coverage”? Will he do it just for the memes, or did you think Rust is so cool there is no effort involved?
What's not serious? He's got a tool which he claims should be able to handle projects of this scale, the existing test coverage is what makes it not immediately impossible and about the memes, have you read his gas town post? Of course it's for the memes, but more importantly it'll validate his vision of the future in the eyes of quite literally everyone if successful.
