Rust is different. Writing in it isn't horrible, but porting to it can be quite tedious. You have to have substantial consideration for how a variable is used. Variables that aren't static can only have one owner, so you find yourself needing to rewrite the data flow through the whole app in many cases. there's a lot more about having to roll back protections to work on vendor/OS APIs. And then there are just enough differences in the languages that you can't just do a line by line port and end up with something that's viable, it needs a lot of restructuring.
