I appreciate the insight, and on closer reading the post clearly states that realistically only Zig and Rust were ever considered anyway.
Since you're here, could you comment on the approach Rust took in their rewrite? Was it more of a straight translation like Go did when they self hosted -- similar to the recent Bun transliteration? Or were there architectural changes made along the way like this article describes with Roc?
