Why not then doing it as a fork - using existing code and language to re-architect? What value does Rust bring here? You are using LLMs to rewrite, so the language is pretty much irrelevant from developers perspective.
You can say "we want it in Rust" and leave it there - I'd be fine with it. Wouldn't use it though.
kind of reminds me of this: I want to build a teleport. it should look like old time phone booth, have a screen with a world map on it where I can chose the destination, and a big button with letters TELEPORT on it. when the button is pressed user is instantly transported to the desired destination.
the teleport mechanism is built in into the base of the booth, so it does not affect overall design.
This has been the problem with every new model coming out in my experience. You can almost predict that they are testing new model by how dumb current one becomes suddenly
absolutely does! for a new language that no one has heard of, it is essential that examples make at least a parallel with other languages. providing examples for mundane things is very useful to build the understanding with the reader who hasn't been writing a paper on OM language.
how does that work for you when working on a massive established codebase, with hundreds of engineers committing daily? do you still keep track of everything in your head? do you carve your sandbox and only work within it? I have seen way worse code from actual engineers, than from LLMs (especially lately).
