What's your easy way of reverse engineering every previous version of this file format, if you don't think that was the hard part?
Wouldn’t previous human-coded implementations already be in LLMs’ training sets? OP article even mentions a number of previous implementations. And even recent LLM “clean room” designs seem to gloss over how the final LLM implementer still has access to previous implementations’ code.
Still, OP claims to have done the best job to date at creating (via AI) specs, and the non-optimal Rust implementation, so a net gain?
