To anyone wondering why this might be a good idea, there are some interesting comments in a GitHub issue (https://github.com/Wilfred/remacs/issues/305):

> For users, I hope Remacs will be faster (it's easier to optimise), more robust (we have stronger type checks and the ability to add unit tests), better documented (see #262) and somewhat more featureful (we have some ideas for solving the dumper problem that would allow users to dump their instance as an image) than GNU Emacs.

> I think we will get problems when the current generation of emacs devs retire and there's a better chance that emacs will survive if we try to make it more appealing to young developers. Rust seems to be a good option.
