Cpp2Rust: Open-Source Tool That Automatically Translates C++ to Safe Rust

GitHub / Hacker News·medium signal

Cpp2Rust, a project translating C++ into memory-safe Rust automatically, surfaced on Hacker News with 55 points and 16 comments. Automated C++→safe-Rust migration targets one of the most expensive and error-prone modernization tasks in systems code, a space where LLM-assisted transpilation is heating up. Builders maintaining legacy C++ should track how much of the translation is genuinely safe versus needing manual review.
