> I have never written any line of Rust before in my life
As an experiment/exercise this is cool, but having a 100k loc codebase to maintain in a language I’ve never used sounds like a nightmare scenario.
I kind of expect that code to be full of non-idiomatic Rust code that mimics a GC'ed language...
Once that's also "fixed", it may well be a lot faster than the current Rust version.
I think the plan is for Claude to maintain it. He hasn't read a single line of code.
