Bun Has Been Converted to Rust. Now What?
Posted this in a thread yesterday but seems relevant, I have been working on similar open source rewrites. Starting with Lua and Nginx. Trying to target idiomatic/ performant safe Rust from the start than straight porting and adding safety/ performance later.
- Valkey/ Redis port here https://github.com/ianm199/valdr (passes ~99% of single node test suite, real prod features like replication/ clustering/ HA early or not implemented)
- Further along port of Lua 5.1-5.5 https://github.com/ianm199/lua-rs-port/tree/main
- I have a less developed nginx version that would be the North Star
- These projects are very alpha at the moment.
The thought was that we might need many “shots on net” in terms of software safety in the future so worth exploring.

Expanding Project Glasswing
In case the topic of memory safety is interesting to anyone I've been experimenting with using AI agents to port common web infra projects to safe/ performant Rust. Somewhat inspired by the Bun port - was thinking that at some point memory safety might be such a big deal that people just need drop in replacements.

Show HN: Valdr – Valkey/ Redis server implemented in safe Rust
I'd love to see where you end up on this! Happy to hop on a call or something too and get your impression.
This is how I was running the benchmarks https://github.com/ianm199/valdr#benchmark-commands . I hope that is helpful.
Redislab team is definitely legit! Valkey and then projects like this stand on the shoulder of giants
