So it was possible to write ~2 million lines of (mostly) zig, but it's not possible to review ~1 million lines of rust, even though the same test suite included in those 2 million lines of zig can still be used? I'm not convinced the rewrite is a good idea and will work out, but I'm equally unconvinced by your argument.

Its possible to do that over a period of a few years. Sadly, the Rust rewrite happened in (checks notes) 8 days.
