From the discussion
A few top-level comments from Hacker News, shortened. Read the full thread on Hacker News.
2025 was all about 'Rust' on HN and 2026 is all about 'rebuilding everything in Rust'. Comical on one level and yet intriguing.
So that I understand... I guess the logic here is: If I love this project, I should renew my JetBrains subscription...so that they can keep having money to fix bugs in their IDE...so that you can keep reverse engineering it? Am I seeing this right?
