Comment:

 I'm closing this ticket, since a rewrite in any language is so large as to
 extend across multiple releases and milestones. The granularity here is
 just too high for a single ticket.

 That doesn't mean no progress has been made, though. Right now, Tor has
 exploratory support for building with some parts of it in rust.  If this
 works out well, and we manage to get things working nicely on every
 platform we care about, we can start figuring out which areas are highest-
 priority for doing in a safe language, and start opening tickets for them.
