> The goal is to make Postgres easier to change from the inside <...> Easier because it's in Rust and not in C? If LLMs are good enough to rewrite C to Rust, why not just use it to change C directly? Would be nice to see some research compairing LLMs performance on the "same" codebase where the only difference is the language.

for me rust is more cognitive load than c, so you lost at least one to change it from the inside.
