We are at a point where the "port this to rust, make no mistakes" meme is basically a reality.

I don't know about that. I am porting my Rust slop to Go and Zig simultaneously right now and the LLM is finding bugs in the Rust code as it is generating the Go and Zig code.

But.. maybe, maybe this is the opposite of google translate in the 00's - maybe, if you keep porting back and forth, you will eventually arrive at perfection :P

It's not about the bugs we fix, but the bugs we make along the way

I've found multiple passes with different models & 100% line coverage help. Need to push further with fixing. Coverage requirements also cut down on duplication (not entirely, still need to be vigilant) since it increases effort having to include coverage on new code
