Evolving the Internet Using Rust
summary
MaidSafe abandons C++ and commits production work to Rust, claiming a rewrite that goes from ~500,000 lines to 70,000 after refactor then to ~7,000 Rust lines, with a single library rewritten in three days as the trigger. Front-end developers become core contributors, two C++ contractors depart, and many libraries compile and pass tests first try. Bounties pay contributors in Bitcoin, code is GPL, and the decentralized storage and communication stack is under active reconstruction.
