The speaker supports the idea of a one-time, company-funded Rust rewrite of C/C++ dependencies for safety and correctness, while doubting it will happen because developers prefer to do such rewrites themselves.

“He set aside some amount of money and rewrite all of our dependencies, uh, at, at the C level or C++ level into Rust, um, because we just know it is better, it's safer, more correct- Yeah... what-whatever.”

“And it is, it is a one-time upgrade of open source. Yeah. All the drivers, what-whatever you, you use. Um, so I, I thought that was, like, a pretty interesting call. I, I like that as an idea, yeah. Cool.”

“I don't think it'll happen [chuckles] because people love to do it themselves. Yeah. But, but as an idea, I, I would, like, we as a company would 100% get behind that. Awesome.”
