Did you compare the code before/after? It's a mechanical line-by-line port, and most of the code is identical to the old version, just with Rust syntax. They have an example in the blog post.
But how can it be a mechanical rewrite if the tool used isn't deterministic?
It converges to "almost deterministic" on highly predictable outputs (i.e. code) with the right sampling params (say, you only sample the most probable token without randomness/high temperature) and with self-correction loops
