> Coding language is just an implementation detail

Sure, but what machine model do the public contract docs and RFCs target ? While the specific coding language is a detail, programming languages target a precise machine model. There is no machine model for english prompts and spec docs. So expect fuzziness - he-said-she-said bugs in your code - things that the LLM made up because the RFCs were not precise. And by the time you add precision to the specs, it has morphed into a new programming language with a machine model. In this usecase, since it is a port, the impact is mitigated because it is a clone of some existing functionality.
