Would memory safety greatly benefit the platform?  
Performance could also see an improvement.

I also think the never ending discourse bugs could be reduced with Rust.

Will discourse as a modern platform survive without being rewritten in Rust?

With the ease and efficiency of Rust development labour shouldn’t be an issue.

Thoughts?
