OP here: Ah, thanks for all these comments! Didn't expect so much passion.
Many comments are right this is prototype and there isn't any code guarantee! It is purely test case driven.
But this prototype sort of proves that to have Rust-equivalent memory safety, you don't really need to completely ditch C++, and all those "rewrite in Rust" clones of C++ repos. The time I spent on this project is very limited. I did maybe half of the dev on my phone through Happy. If Microsoft or Google who has lots of C++ code is willing to put some serious resources on this idea, I am sure they can have something a lot more solid. And they don't have to give up C++ (they shouldn't, it is very unclever engineering wise).
To me personally this prototype is a "usable" alternative to Circle C++. It saved me a lot of hard debugging time.
I don't know if they later changed their minds. From the meetings notes it seemed they didn't want implement a C++ frontend in rustc.
