    End user shouldn’t care what PL the software is written in. Their advantages and disadvantages are meaningful for developers only.

      PL can have a large impact on features, bugs, bug reports, troubleshooting, performance and documentation. Particularly when dev resources are limited.

      It’s hard to see how this opinion holds any water.

      Rust is a great choice for a shell built as an interactive shell that doesn’t have to be core to the OS. Over C++ this also makes development more accessible to young programmers.
