Rusty Java - Transition the Java Runtime from C/C++ to Rust.

[Ethan McCue]

Thinking out loud:

Projects of this sort of scope require relatively important reasons to be
carried out.

For the JVM in particular, a large amount of it's "unsafe" surface area is
in the JIT(s). The memory safety guarantees of rust will not help in those
areas since what really needs to be safe is the generated machine code.

Can you go deeper on the *why* you think this is a thing worth pursuing?
