The Rust re-write happened before I got involved. If pcwalton is around and sees this comment, maybe he can provide a more first-class account.

> Was it more of a straight translation like Go did when they self hosted -- similar to the recent Bun transliteration? Or were there architectural changes made along the way like this article describes with Roc?

From what I remember, it was a whole-sale re-write from scratch, not a transliteration. While Rust took a lot of inspiration from OCaml, especially in those days, it was different enough that I'm not sure that a more direct transliteration would have been particularly possible, though again, see above, I wasn't there, so I don't know for sure.
