1. its not stable in terms of api thus moving target thus self-compatibility problems.
2. rust does not have as big coverage as c thus not all platforms are tier1 support (i.e. bsd) thus some platforms are excluded. 3. rust requires long time of tool build before you can build something in rust. not a problem when you have system package but a problem when you need to build in on a small embedded system where no package exist. heavy dependencies. 3. in order to build rust to build git you need git first that requires rust. classic chicken egg problem. 4. rust binaries are not as simple to debug as c binaries not really close relation like between c and asm. etc etc :-) we will see how this works out :-) still there are alternative clients like got. -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info On Sat, Sep 6, 2025, 14:19 Štěpán Pressl <nuttx.pressl.ste...@gmail.com> wrote: > What's wrong with git in rust?
