Interesting, this article and the comments make no mention of LLMs for the initial translation. Really surprising given that would be the first thing I'd reach for for a translation/porting task (though verification could get tricky).

Now I really wonder how a good model like Sonnet 4 would have performed.

Check the bottom :)

> I did start trying out Cursor towards the end of the development process. I ended up stopping using it though because I felt like it didn’t actually increase my speed. It only saved me from finger pain. That’s because when using cursor to translate the code it would still occasionally insert bugs, just like me. So, I spent as much time reviewing the generated code as it would have taken me to write it myself. The only thing it saved was my hands. Doing this large amount of refactoring is really hard on your fingers.
