Based on all the negative comments, and being a non-expert, I had an LLM generate an article for that same title. I suspect it was more approachable and more technically accurate than this. In fact I asked it to compare its article with this one and the negative comments.

The author of any technical blog post should be using an LLM to vet things before posting to find gaps or inconsistencies.

> Everybody would be doing it by now

Models and agents have progressed significantly in the last few months. Migrating projects to rust can definitely be a thing in the coming years if there is sufficient motivation. But oftentimes c/c++ devs have aversions to the rust language itself, so the biggest challenge can be an issue of motivation in general.

That was my point — with LLMs the progress would not be at the same slope as with people only.

I believe with a little (okay a lot of) motivation and a solid LLM, these can all be rewritten faster than everyone says. Especially if it’s gradual.

Mozilla and Dropbox did it. LLMs are good at translating between languages, and writing unit tests to make sure things still work the same.
