I kind of expect that code to be full of non-idiomatic Rust code that mimics a GC'ed language...

Once that's also "fixed", it may well be a lot faster than the current Rust version.

That isn't what I've seen. It seems to use every language in the way idiomatic for it, or more accurately, in the way it has een that language be ised. Rust written that way isn't present in it's training corpus so it doesn't do that. I would be more concerned about it getting creative and adding something a cool rustacean might add in the porting process that you don't actually want.
