Yeah, it’s going to be interesting. In principle, this is something that LLMs are good at, i.e. taking some existing thing and just translating it into a different language. But from what the Zig creator said about the Bun codebase, a lot of those hacks may be difficult to translate into Rust, and of course have a lot of potential for bugs.

And well, they do also have the problem that they cannot halfass this rewrite, which LLMs are not good at. If they publish a new version and it’s a buggy mess, it will still look bad…
