I think the criticism is still a valid to an extent because I don't see how this would give you a good way to evaluate Zig vs. Rust. Maybe a better approach is to migrate a particularly problematic space and bench that on its own?

It's not like OP asked for any criticism to start with, right? This whole thread is pretty good example of why saying "Fools and children should never see half-finished work" exists. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Since when was HN ever about asked for criticism?

Not HN, but from my experience of over a decade, it's certainly US culture to criticise without expertise.

I can say from expertise that vibing a full move of any project from one language to another is probably not a great way to evaluate if the decision is a good one. I got downvoted, maybe I said it too authoritatively. But hey, that is just like, my experienced opinion, man.
