Every time a piece of legacy c/c++ code get's replaced with something written in a sane language i smile a little!

Unfortunely there are tons of domains that it will never happen, given the existing ecosystem

We as society basically have to undo 50 years of going into the wrong direction, without the economical incentives to fix them, rather mitigate their faults.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You might've heard about this thing called the internet that does the same thing. Perhaps we should ban it too since rich people and bad guys use it?

You also might have heard about this saying which goes by: 'The road to hell is paved with good intentions' and it goes both ways. At least I happen to recognize that, unlike the grandparent comment. But where did I exactly say 'ban' it?

So you're saying a tor rewrite in rust is the road to hell then?

Or that tor itself is the road to hell?

Either way, your same argument can be made against the whole internet which should demonstrate how silly it is.

I am not a big fan of alt-coins, but I'm not sure I would dare call ZCash a "Crypto token scam project".

A scam in my book has one or more of the following properties:

- pre-mined (a part) off all tokes (like ETH ~70%) [1]

- has a team that will "rug pull" the users of their coin (think ONEcoin) [2]

- Is only paying lip-service to being decentralized (think again ETH) [3]

Also, who cares where the money comes from? I believe TOR is a project worthy of sponsoring...
