One issue is those are the bugs you get when you write it in C++.

They aren't the bugs you get when you write it in Rust.

The kind of bugs you get are usually a function of the problem, language, implementation approach.

So you get other bugs when rewriting in another language without existing tests, got it. This is why I hate all the announcements of "it is rewritten in rust so it is obviously better than the original since it passes all the tests". Edit: and it's an LLM rewrite. Add that to the pile of over hyped messaging.
