why does /g/ hate the idea of rewriting critical software in a memory safe language?

because linters and static analysis get you 90% of the safety with 10% of the pain

Churn on critical anything is a huge unnecessary risk to production. There are (a very few) people doing good work with rewriting software in the world but none of them are "computer programmers."

if you have a good set of tests, wouldn't that prove that a rewrite is a drop-in replacement?

no because if the original has ub it might change behavior outside the tests

Because memory safety is achieved with wall-to-wall runtime checks at the machine code level.
/g/ poors can't spare that storage or those clock cycles, so its ebil.

Because the savior of the safety language people wanna use is unsafely unstandardized and controlled by some individuals you can't safely leave around children

because those techniques are relatively new and optional when they should be mandatory.

why even use them if you know what yuor doing and wirter good code
