The worst part is that they basically didn't review the new code at all other than making sure it passes tests. We have no idea what could be lurking in the codebase now, and it's even all completely un-idiomatic, Zig-ish Rust.

I swear they did this as a marketing ploy. To set the precedent that these large refactors are okay to do, and ingrain it in the engineering zeitgeist.

  Kind of reminds me how Google starting putting on automatic AI processing of YouTube videos and shorts around the time of AI generated video and images. Their processing gave the videos artifacts that made them look more AI generated, making it harder to discern AI generated images, maybe to make demand for their watermark products.
