Rust for implementing an interpreter (like Python, Lisp)

1

Do you think Rust could be used to implement a VM/interpreter for something like Python or Lisp? Would there be particular pain points? Do you think it would bring a lot of benefits that are missing in the C implementation of Python?

It's already done: GitHub - RustPython/RustPython: A Python Interpreter written in Rust
I'd like this to be default python interpreter one day.
