I am not sure a rust rewrite would be meaningful.

Go is great because it's fast to code.It's easy to reimplement typescript in go 1:1 just by looking at the code.

Rust on the other hand would take a lot longer to develop.

Maybe rust is 20% faster than go but overall the increase from typescript with go is good enough.

Maybe rust would yield a 14 times speedup over the 11 times in vscode but go is already good enough to make a huge difference.
