Its more like they're *transitioning* to Rust and not rewriting everything in Rust

This pattern has been repeating itself since at least the 80's:

1. "C is hard"

2. "We rewrote everything"

3. "It still doesn't work"

Maybe by 2030, a new pattern will emerge:

1. "C is hard, we're using it anyway"

2. "We learned C and now its simple"

3. "Our code runs great"
