This is akin to re-implementing the complete language.

Writing programming languages before AI was bit of a daunting task ; now it's way easier to grasp a first good principles and dive trough ; would still take time to get something production ready ; but that's definitely something that could happen

Spot on!

The majority of the innovation here is in building enough rails (specifically around lowering Python's language features to native code) so that LLM codegen can help you transform any Python code into equivalent native code (C++ and Rust in our case).
