I think that's overstating it. Carbon promises a reliable transition; getting an LLM to rewrite in Rust depends on the LLM being smart enough to never make a mistake that it can't catch with (existing or its own freshly created) tests.

LLMs are very good now, but they are still stochastic (when temp > 0), and Google has a lot of code -- i.e., many rolls of the die.

Does it deliver?

Can all existing C++ code be ported to Carbon without refactoring?
