Any thoughts about a rewrite in Rust (or another system programming language)?

This question came up in a discussion & prompted me to do a bit more research into whether a rewrite in Rust would be considered.

It looks like some developers are having good results in rewriting a C codebase in Rust.

Including some rewrites of Redis in Rust.

I was not able to find any discussion addressing why or why not rewrite Redis in Rust or if there is any desire to do so by the core team.
