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.

It wouldnt have gotten 2% finishd. It wouldn't have compiled. Its a waste of time to even consider.

What do you mean by this? I'd assume the process would be very very incremental. One function + accompany tests at a time, verify and continue and keep moving up the tree.

It's an interesting problem because I imagine in the future lots of things will be ported like this.

You've been duped my friend.

-edit Good luck reading 100k lines of Claude generated Rust that you know nothing about lol. LLMS are not the tool for this.
