I'm starting to get a bit of fatigue for these projects that boil down to just "I asked Claude to re-write this code into a new language that's in vogue right now!"

I really don't understand why this is needed outside of an opportunity to show how impressive LLMs can be when working within large codebases, but even then people in the comments are finding bizarre implementation choices that a human developer wouldn't make. I'll stick with Postgres and its - gasp - C implementation for now, thanks.

In this case it's justified because Rust allows safe implementation of threaded code. Current Postgres is per-process. Switching to threading yields performance improvements.
