Comment on Fable Converted Pylint to Rustparent

Also, I'd be interested in the quality of these Rust ports.

I have a friend who's an experienced Rust programmer, and he told me Rust ownership doesn't really lend itself well to rewriting mostly OOP code that was written without having strict ownership in mind, and such project often result on very ugly code full of Box, Rc, unwrap() etc, that majorly pollute the code, and basically mean that you abandon all the Rust-specific safety.

But getting rid of all of this usually requires a complex rethink on how the data actually flows through the application, and many 'rewrite in Rust' project even before AI tended not to bother with that.
