Can you shed some light on what we’re actually looking at here? I see some Rust but most of the actual BT stack looks to be C++ code. Is the HN headline accurate?

Did you miss this on the main page?

Right, but the headline suggests the BlueTooth stack is being rewritten in Rust while the code seems to suggest that the stack is in C++ still. There isn’t much Rust code in the directory relative to all of the C++

4K lines of Rust is not a BlueTooth stack.
