I have been trying Aeneas (Rust -> Lean 4 in particular), which still
needs work for low-level/kernel/`unsafe` development (which is coming,
from what I am told), but it can already be useful for a subset of
safe Rust (and ideally single-crate).

I agree there are things that subsystems would probably start doing
"locally" first, i.e. picking different approaches depending on their
needs.

And, yeah, LLMs definitely are playing a role in making this way more
cost-effective and thus popular :)

Cheers,
