Hopefully they have a test suite written by QA otherwise they're for sure going to have a buggy mess on their hands. People need to learn that if you must rewrite something (often you don't actually need to) then an incremental approach best.

1 month of Claude Code would be an incremental approach

It would honestly try to one-shot the whole conversion in a 30 minute autonomous session

> often you don't actually need to

Feels like this one is always a mistake that needs to be made for the lesson to be learned.

At this point it seems pretty clear that all projects ported from Ruby to Python, then Python to Typescript, must now be ported to Rust. It will solve almost all problems of the tech industry…
