“DARPA suggests turning old C code automatically into Rust – using AI, 
of course”
    https://www.theregister.com/2024/08/03/darpa_c_to_rust/

“To accelerate the transition to memory safe programming languages, the 
US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is driving the 
development of TRACTOR, a programmatic code conversion vehicle.”

“The term stands for TRanslating All C TO Rust. It's a DARPA project 
that aims to develop machine-learning tools that can automate the 
conversion of legacy C code into Rust.”

I have never used a code translator that converted 100% of the code 
properly.
