Should probably have used to word "Transferring" and "Modularizing" instead of "Rewriting". I'm sure the Inkscape devs are brilliant and the code is solid. The medium posts is more targeted at what you can do once the code sits in a different platform, which I also presume will make the entire architecture nimble WRT embedding and collaborating on the web and module reuse / sharing.
Inkscape is currently the most extensive SVG renderer; how would one transfer or moduralise to Javascript while replacing Cairo and all the intensive bits of technology?
Inkscape is much more extensive and intensive than most developers even understand. It's both why it's harder to code for and also why it's very hard to replace.
