   GitHub Copilot is now written entirely in Rust, with AI agents doing most of the porting work. The migration cost about $120,000 in AI token usage plus about three weeks of a developer's time. The effort updated the runtime module-by-module until the job was completed, spanning over 135 releases across a 14.5-week time period. 430,000 lines of TypeScript were converted into 800,000 lines of Rust.

      That is very cool, but Copilot is hot garbage. So I'm not sure I would cite anything they're doing as a win for LLM coding.
