There's a lot of focus on the self-importance rather than solving real-world problems.

It reminds me of the Sinclair C5.

Sir Clive Sinclair of Sinclair Computers built a car.

And he said, oh, everyone will be traveling around in one of these electric cars.

And it was... Frost reminds me of that where...

I think the community doesn't quite understand that in order to get people to move, you have to build something that's as good as, if not better than what you have now.

Yes, people are doing Rust rewrites, but if they only do 85, 90% of the feature set of what...

what we need, things like core utils, that last 1% takes 99% of the time.

To use Elon's famous quote, prototypes are easy.

This kind of stuff is easy, but to get a real electric car, you have to make a car as good as, if not better than what we have now, and Rust isn't in that stage yet.

I don't think anyone would object to seeing...

Rust code in FFmpeg, but it needs to work as well and support the same unit testing as everything else.

It needs to be flawless.

It can't just randomly break.

They can't just randomly break ABI when they want to.

It needs to have, I think, more... I think it still has only one compiler implementation.

So...

It's got to be as good as if not better.

And saying, hey, here's my utopia of memory safety isn't enough, even though we probably all agree that that's the goal.

I would say, on a personal level, I'm so in awe about the assembly, I actually
