It would be an irresponsible waste of limited time and budget for a human to write this which is probably why it did not exist before. I wrote the first version by hand in C, and then rust. The LLM was able to rewrite it with no dependencies implementing the low level system calls and test suites that would be a nightmare to do by hand. The best use of human time for something like this is code review.
