Which part of a Zig to Rust port (working, passing tests) of a quite large codebase in a little over a week is not worthy of hype do you reckon? That they didn't one-shot it? What could possibly make it impressive if not the sheer velocity of the thing? That's a months or years long operation for a human. There's a reason porting large programs to new languages was vanishingly rare throughout most of computing history, and there's a reason people are suddenly doing it almost on a whim, now.
