> though I hope existing well tested rust libraries are used rather than NIHing them and introducing new bugs
I think that's much more likely to introduce bugs.
Think of it that way, a lot of the Rust libraries are rewriting existing copyleft libraries in permissive licenses, so they cannot look at the original code, dooming them to repeat the mistakes that were made in the original code and having to fix them all over again on their own (as both go from "oh this is simple" to "oh another corner case").
I just want to translate code 1:1 to Rust, reusing my existing knowledge, design decisions, and tests. It should behave _exactly_ the same as before, just memory safe.
