Fil-C doesn't stop the data race problems the borrow checker would catch does it?
Has anyone tried pointing an agentic ai at recreating a c utility by looking only at the man page and using differential fuzzing? It isn't a port, so no licensing issues, and the code would use unsafe, and presumably be more idiomatic. I have no idea if it would ever complete, or just get stuck in an endless loop. Or even if it did succeed, how many joules it would use.
