alt Hacker NewsI see the result of an LLM port only as a baseline. I would expect any serious developer to rewrite and refactor the code beyond a verbatim translation and to make it more maintainable, readable and robust. In short, to turn it into idiomatic Rust.
If you're not going to do that don't post your results online, just keep it to yourself. Anyone could've done this. Even people without any programming skills.

...I mean...I just don't really know how to respond to that. Who the heck cares if someone posts this online? If you don't like it, just move on. Sheesh. Lookout everyone, this guy doesn't approve of your side project.

The definition of "serious" developer is changing. An LLM can already produce maintainable, readable, robust code.
It's getting to the point that LLM produced code is indistinguishable from even the best handwritten code.
There's no value in gatekeeping,the code side of software is becoming increasingly democratised, and the barrier to entry is getting closer to no barrier at all.
