Just to keep misinformation down, pkgcore currently has nothing to do with rust as it's implemented in python due to basically being deemed portage-ng when it forked ~15 years ago. It previously did have some extensions written in C which have mostly been removed in the current day from CPython catching up in a number of areas. That being said, alternative languages and related support has been looked at for a number of reasons/features and development could move in that direction, but hasn't yet in a public fashion. Tim
