I just wrote a clean plugin in Rust. I don't know rust. It took work to avoid, remove, and replace slop, avoid spurious and pointless tests, etc. It wasn't "fire and forget". but it wrote the code, the code has been made clean, integrates well with existing project structure and does what it's supposed to. I spent a day or two on it, but had I attempted to write it from scratch, even knowing rust, it easily would have taken me longer.

Considering that I don't know rust at all, it's awesome.
