Hi, I was looking for a array and processing library and by coincidence I found this article article and the new repository: GitHub - cool-japan/scirs: SciRS2 - Scientific Computing and AI in Rust
Does anyone know something about it? It's a 1.5 M LOC codebase of two contributers which implements scipy and pandas. Is this trustworthy? It feels kind of unreal. Was this written by hand?
It is hard to say if it does what it claims. It has been definitely written with the aid of AI (there is a CLAUDE.md in the repo’s root). If I had to guess, the agent is probably converting an existing implementation in one language (maybe Python/C) to Rust. I recently converted a non-trivial Matlab script into a Rust crate using Gemini, and the results were actually not bad (although not perfect). But in general, it was a time saver.
