I fail to think of a successful Rust rewrite, so far what I've seen is just programmers who aren't sufficiently experienced, who decide to pick Rust and rewrite something in it, and then (this is the bad part) claim it's better for that reason only. It never is. It's always worse, because rewrites fundamentally end up with a worse product first.

ruff is a rust rewrite of flake8. Got bought by OpenAI after a meteoric rise in the python ecosystem.
