project status - abandoned?

[dan-da]

Hi, I would like to know what happened to the idea of re-implementing bisq in Rust.

In particular:

1. What is the present status ot this project? what works? what is missing? is it compatible with current bisq network?

2. I understand that bisq v2 is being worked on, and from what I've gleaned the core is again being written in java. I would've thought/hoped that would be the ideal time to switch to rust instead. I am curious why that did not happen, given this existing rust codebase. grateful for any commentary or pointers to related discussion...

@dan-da Bisq core team are all Java developers. They are reluctant even to switch to Kotlin. There was a voting, and the proposal to reimplement Bisq in Rust was rejected.

too bad! I'm sure rust would improve both speed and correctness.
