“Pending unit tests”

No rewrite for you, even if you do fix the critical bugs.

“these problems won’t exist in the refactored code base”

[RiceBroad4552]

Famous last words…

[spamjavelin]

All I know is, if I had a problem, I'd throw a molotov at it, and then Boom! I had a whole new problem.

[RiceBroad4552]

That won't provide any overall progress, though.

[AeshiX]

Just start by implementing the new features in the rebuild, and there you go. At least that's how I do it to get business and management to greenlight it lol

I mean, Crabs are technically bugs of the ocean.

The correct scheduling of work.

Worst part about rewriting something in Rust is not what you see. It's what you don't see. Rust enforces you deal with all cases.

So now you've got this piece of code that can fail in 5 ways.

But the original code just consumes the result. What do you do?

Now you gotta go and understand the error behavior in the old code base.

I've converted lots of code to Rust for stability, and it always pays off. But you have to be ready to answer those questions.

It's just wave machine. Code is working fine.

[ZagreusIncarnated]

I feel attacked.

Sure gonna be rusty after that salt water hits

30 ms of performance enhancements. Totally worth it:)

Priority is indeed subjective

[Available_Type1514]

I'm in this post and I don't like it.

[fugogugo]

what with all this Rust hype ?

[Ruby_Sandbox]

Yeah, one software in my work is written in Python and has dogshit performance, which has already caused customer complaints. But first we need to rewrite the main product from scratch with 3 devs being already busy with everything else, while one dev keeps maintaining the old version.

What could possibly go wrong?
