I don't see this as just exercise in making a new useful thing, but benchmarking the SOTA models ability to create a massive* project on its own, with some verifiable metrics of success. I believe they were able to build FFMPEG with this rust compiler?

How much would it cost to pay someone to make a C compiler in rust? A lot more than $20k

* massive meaning "total context needed" >> model context window
