> Just point some agents at it and you can port it. Don’t think we’re there yet, otherwise we would see a bunch of forks of major libraries to alternative languages - and not just Python. There’s still too much risk of insidious errors and bugs. | ||

I've done thus a few times for stuff in the < 10,000 LOC space. It works great. There's something particularly satisfying about shipping a 1-10MB static rust binary instead of a 2GiB docker python environment. (I'm talking about just porting simple applications, or maybe a missing package/crate at a time. Not both at once, and not typical 100K-10M line internal legacy sprawl) | ||
