“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.
Yeah. Who is going to unit test it? The AI? Sure. That's going to be fun.
