  The goal of Phase A is a **draft** `.rs` next to the `.zig`
  that captures the logic faithfully — it does **not** need to compile. Phase B
  makes it compile crate-by-crate.

I mean, it would be hard to spell it out any clearer than that! Code that fails to compile is just not very useful for real work.

Phase B clearly says compilation is the next goal. The first goal is to get a like for like logic, the second goal is to get it to compile. Can you guess what the third goal will be? Throw out the code?

  • The branch is named phase-a-port and the document explains what "phase-a" means. It's quite clear.

Yes, but that would require people to read past the title. You can't get a proper knee-jerk first post in if you do that! Completely unfair to expect people to make that sacrifice/effort.

[there was some sarcasm there, BTW, if anyone has a faulty detector that didn't pick up on it]
