Yeah, I guess. Now it appears to be a project run by Anthropic and I'm sure the real focus is on making money--which is still slightly different than having the focus be on making the best tool.

"Make more money" in this case could also be "do high-profile rewrite for marketing reasons, silently abandon a year later".

I mean, surely the main motivation for "use an LLM to rewrite a huge project in a new language" was excitement about the shiny new tech that made it possible.
