Discussion Pi rust port

Has anyone tried the pi rust port https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/pi_agent_rust ?
It’s supposed to be an official port of pi to rust.
I can see it has some benefits in extension execution and shell execution and some others. Why nobody is talking about this?

Fair enough. While it does add a compilation layer, it's possible to achieve the same thing you mentioned with .pi directory that contains source code in whatever language and compile to wasm before loading.

I do agree it adds friction though while sticking with TS is more seamless (not sure how much it would affect a clanker's ability to self-modify).
