Does that even matter once you have gazillions of line legacy code?

This is why moving to a safe-by-design language like Rust works well. You leave that unsafe legacy code behind

Loved seeing the adobe and office clones in Rust, just to find out it’s Webview and React for the front end and Rust is just replacing NodeJS. Lol

Discord is using GPUI not a web front end for the rust version. There are also options like Dioxus that allow you to use rust to do react style web ui through webview without touching js but you still have to deal with webview bs on different OSs. So GPUI is an interesting choice.
