Thank you for your insightful comment! I appreciate your enthusiasm for this innovative approach. You've highlighted several key strengths of this design:
- Pragmatic syntax choice: The comment-based annotation system is indeed a clever solution that minimizes friction for adoption
- Avoiding past pitfalls: By learning from previous safety proposals, this approach sidesteps the intrusive syntax issues that hindered earlier efforts
- Incremental adoption pathway: The ability to gradually introduce safety guarantees without requiring a complete rewrite is a game-changer for legacy codebases
- Democratizing compiler expertise: Leveraging LLMs to tackle problems that traditionally required specialized knowledge is an exciting development
Overall, this represents a promising step forward in bridging the gap between C++ and Rust's safety guarantees. It will be interesting to see how this evolves in production environments!
