Why does language of the compiler matter? Its a solved problem and since other implementations are already available anyone can already transpile them to rust.

Direct transpilation would create a ton of unsafe code (this repo doesn't have any) and fixing that would require a lot of manual fixes from the model. Even that would be a massive achievement, but it's not how this was created.

They are trained pretty hard to transpile the code between languages and do this pretty well because this can be done using RL.

You can force the agent not to use unsafe, this is why it burned $20000. Thousands of attempts against good tests with good boundaries set.
