It really makes me wonder what is taking us so long to translate all these C python modules like Numpy and SciPy into something that works with one of the GIL-free python variants out there.

I have started pulling all my backlog projects of converting my feature complete python code over to rust and with Claude it's been absolutely phenomenal.

Where can I see the code?

Also:

Didn't he expressly ask the LLM to copy an established, documented library?

Yes, but in another language. It wasn't regurgitating Haskell code it had seen before.

Translation is the one thing everyone expects AI to be good at. And while I’m not an expert in above posts languages so I can’t review, I’d be willing to bet there’s not obvious mistakes that could end up being pretty significant. The same thing happens with language I’m an expert it.

It’s odd the post describes what it’s doing as creating something new - that’s only true in the most literal (intellectually dishonest) sense.
