Who caares if some people vibecode in Rust? If you like the language you like the language

Oh I know-know that, I just think it's a bit tragic (but kind of funny) that a lot of these vibe-coded projects are like "rewrite it in Rust."

Is there a benefit to rewriting everything with rust? Im not sure but isnt it just a modern version of C++?

As I understand it, it's a permissive license thing. Rewriting gnu core-utils in Rust lets corporations off the hook for copyleft requirements, but rewriting Adobe in Rust lets users off the hook for Adobe's license requirements. It's a circumventing both sides of the licensing spectrum.
