what would you call a fully uncommented commit with

"+27,939Lines changed: 27939 additions & 0 deletions"

of new rust code

The commit would look exactly like that if it was a 100% deterministic transpilation (like Golang did with their original C implementation?).

This is obviously very different from that, but the way the commit looks doesn't make it so.

The question isn't whether or not you'd get the same line count with a non-LLM tool. The question of whether or not it's vibe-coded depends on whether or not the committer actually reviewed and understood the new code. And with a 75k line difference, that seems unlikely.

Why? Do you think large changes not made by LLMs are also reviewed line by line?

I'm sure it will be called Systems Programing . Because Rust.
